HOW TO TRICK YOURSELF INTO SUCCEEDING

LIVE AND HELP LIVE
About this episode

Don’t think. If you’re hesitating to text - text. If you’re hesitating to call - call. If you’re hesitating to take that leap of faith - leap.

Nope. That’s not how to trick yourself into succeeding - (for the science-based explanation to that, simply listen to this episode). That’s just how all of those wildly, wealthy people, who are successful by whatever stereotypical standards of success we measure become successful.

Successful people have one stand-out commonality: they act. They do it. They do not bend over backwards for others to please them. They please their desires. They turn their desire into action.

What’s more, it’s not about how well they do something. They simply do it. You don’t need skill. You need action.

So, while today you will learn the science behind success (and failure), you will also learn a personal story of mine - because I’m going through all of this with you …

IN EPISODE 34 YOU WILL LEARN:

• The science behind success and failure.• Why pleasing people is holding you back.• When you’re most likely to give up and how to avoid that.• What is exposure and how can it help you succeed?• You are not alone.

You are loved.
