About this episode

Have you ever felt like no matter how hard you’re working on a goal, you’re just not making any progress?

When the scale doesn’t budge, the income doesn’t increase, or the pages don’t get written, it can be discouraging. Not seeing progress come quickly enough is one of the biggest reasons people give up on their goals. Here’s the issue though - progress is found not received, and the only way to see it is to know exactly where you started. The best map in the world is useless if you don’t know where you are when you open it. That’s why this episode is all about drawing a massive “You Are Here” X so that you can build a base that will launch your success and help you track your progress.
