Courage, Support, and Reframing Goals Around People with Nichole Curtis
Fri Feb 06 2026
What if growth did not come from pushing harder but from allowing the right support?
In this episode of Why Not Today?, Leslie is joined by Nichole Curtis for an honest conversation about courage, leadership, and the mindset shifts that make sustainable growth possible. Nichole shares her personal Why Not Today moments, from stepping into a commission only career before feeling ready to making the decision to join the Inner Circle when it was not in her original plan.
Nichole opens up about the real benefits she experienced inside the Inner Circle, including having consistent support, accountability, and a safe space to talk through challenges without judgment. She explains how being surrounded by like minded women helped her shift out of a purely numbers driven mindset and instead focus on the people she was serving. That shift not only changed how she felt as a leader, but also helped her increase her production by 40 percent.
The conversation also explores what it looks like to miss a big goal and keep going anyway. Nichole shares how the Inner Circle helped her process disappointment, stay confident as a leader, and model resilience for her team. Together, Leslie and Nichole remind listeners that growth takes time, support matters, and success is not about perfection but about staying in the game.
In this episode, you will hear:
• Why sharing your goals invites support instead of pressure
• How the Inner Circle provided mindset shifts, confidence, and accountability
• Why focusing on people instead of numbers can change how you lead and grow
Ask yourself where you have been trying to do everything alone and choose one way to let support in today instead of waiting for the perfect time.
