WEEK 4: BECOME THE PERSON WHO’S ALREADY DONE IT

What does the version of you who has already achieved the goal actually look like?

In Episode 4 of PROJECT 98.9, Leigh and Sharkie move beyond weight, standards and the number on the scale to explore something deeper: identity.

After missing a few standards over the weekend, Leigh notices how quickly the old negative self-talk returns. Instead of beating himself up, he starts looking at the man he wants to become — and asks what that version of Leigh would do next.

That opens up a conversation about manifestation, visualisation and why creating your future isn’t about wishing something into existence.

It’s about intentionally becoming the person capable of creating it.

Sharkie also reflects on his own career transition and how easy it is to let other people’s perceived expectations keep us attached to an old version of ourselves.

In this episode:

  • Why missing a standard can trigger old self-talk
  • Building your identity around the person you want to become
  • What manifestation actually means to Leigh
  • Setting standards based on your future self
  • Why other people’s perception of you is often your own story
  • Being compassionate with yourself while still setting higher standards
  • How visualisation can turn an idea into intentional action
  • Why change is about who you become, not just what you achieve

You don’t have to wait until you reach the goal to become that person.

Start becoming them now.

Follow PROJECT 98.9 as Leigh and Sharkie document the journey to 98.9 — and everything they discover along the way.
