  • Is your PMP study plan hurting you?
    Apr 23 2026

    Most PMP study plans aren't plans—they're patchwork.

    If your approach looks like a little bit of this course, a few random quizzes, a 35-hour requirement checkbox, and scattered online content… you may be slowing yourself down without even realizing it.

    In this episode, I break down why these "Frankenstein" study plans fail. They lack continuity, structure, and a learning approach that actually helps you retain and apply what you're studying.

    I'll walk you through what a real PMP study plan should look like—one that builds understanding, speeds up learning, and gets you to the exam with confidence.

    If you want a clear plan, want to move faster than most people, and actually learn while you do it—reach out.

  • My PMP 'Bag of Tricks': How to Eliminate Wrong Answers Fast
    Apr 17 2026

    Most PMP students are trying to find the right answer…

    But the real skill?

    👉 Eliminating the wrong ones.

    In this episode, I walk through three real PMP-style questions and show you something different…

    Not just what the answer is—but how to think.

    I'm pulling a few tools out of my personal "bag of tricks"—the exact mental shortcuts I use (and teach my students) to quickly eliminate common trap answers that trip people up on the exam.

    Inside, you'll learn:

    • How to spot answers that look right but are fundamentally wrong
    • The patterns behind bad PMP answer choices
    • How to narrow down options fast—even when you're unsure
    • Why most students overthink instead of eliminating

    This is the difference between:
    ❌ guessing under pressure
    ✅ confidently working your way to the best answer

    And this is just a small sample…

    There's a whole system behind this that we build together inside the program.

  • How You Fail the PMP Before You Even Start (And How to Fix It in 7 Minutes)
    Apr 15 2026

    Most people don't fail the PMP exam because they don't know the material…

    They fail because of what happens inside their own head.

    In this episode, I break down the idea of a 7-minute mental diet—a simple but powerful way to stop negative self-talk before it wrecks your performance on exam day.

    Then I bring on Amy, who just passed her PMP with strong scores, to walk through what REALLY happened during her exam.

    ➡️ She hit the same panic moments you will
    ➡️ She felt like she was failing halfway through
    ➡️ And she almost spiraled… but didn't

    Instead, she used simple mental resets, positive self-talk, and pacing strategies to take control—and pass.

    We break down:

    • The exact moment panic kicks in during the exam
    • What negative self-talk sounds like (and how to stop it)
    • The phrases she used to regain control
    • How the 150/75 timing strategy reduces anxiety
    • Why mindset is just as important as knowing the content

    If you've ever:

    • Second-guessed yourself during practice questions
    • Felt like you're "failing" mid-exam
    • Or let one bad question spiral into five…

    This episode will change how you approach the test.
