How to make big changes today

Are you feeling stuck in a rut? Are you ready to make some big changes in your life but you’re not sure where to start? It can be intimidating to take the leap and make a breakthrough, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. Here are five brave ways to achieve a breakthrough in life that won’t frighten you:

  1. Start by setting specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals for yourself. This will help you focus on what you want to accomplish and give you a roadmap to follow.
  2. Take a risk and try something new. Whether it’s starting a new hobby, taking a class, or trying a new activity, stepping outside of your comfort zone can be incredibly rewarding.
  3. Surround yourself with positive, supportive people. Your friends and family can have a huge impact on your success, so make sure you have a strong support system in place.
  4. Be persistent and don’t give up. It’s natural to face challenges and obstacles along the way, but it’s important to keep pushing forward. Don’t be discouraged by setbacks – they are simply opportunities to learn and grow.
  5. Celebrate your successes. It’s important to acknowledge and appreciate the progress you’re making, no matter how small. Take time to reflect on your accomplishments and give yourself a pat on the back.

Making a breakthrough in life can be a daunting task, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. By setting SMART goals, taking risks, surrounding yourself with positive people, being persistent, and celebrating your successes, you can make big changes in your life without being scared. So go out there and make your breakthrough happen!

Who’s the Coach?

I’m Chris Dessi.

Tech entrepreneur. Author. Talking head.
But before any of that—I’m a builder.

I’ve spent the last 20+ years helping companies grow:
From dot-com chaos to SaaS scale-ups to AI-powered everything.
I’ve sold software across continents. Closed $32M in deals using AI.
Built and exited businesses. Bombed a few too. All of it made me sharper.

Today, I run Torque AI, a marketing automation platform built for the 99%.
Small business owners. Solopreneurs. Operators with too much to do and not enough support.
We give them AI superpowers—without the hype, the jargon, or the BS.

I’m also the founder of AI Summit NYC, where real business owners come to learn how to actually use AI to drive revenue.

When I’m not building, I’m writing books, speaking on national TV, and coaching execs through reinvention—with a baseball bat in one hand and a meditation app in the other.

I believe reinvention is our greatest asset.
I believe AI isn’t the threat—it’s the test.
And I believe if you’re not adapting, you’re eroding.

Let’s build something that matters.
