About this episode

On Today's Episode: It doesn’t matter who you are, what your profession or industry may be, a common plight that is familiar to all of us is how to get started. Everyone struggles with getting started at some point. When you step into doing something new or tackle big goals and tasks that can feel overwhelming, not knowing where or how to start can be paralyzing. So, I’m taking you through the ABCs of how to get started and it comes down to taking action. I’m going to give you the tips and tools you need to get over the hurdles and around the roadblocks that slow down your progress. From failure to indecisiveness to just overthinking problems, I’ve got some rules you can try out and the mindset I use to overcome it all and achieve high levels of success.
