502: How to Get Focused and Stop Procras...

HAL ELROD
About this episode

Procrastination is something that most people deal with from time to time. It can sneak up on you when life gets busy because it’s easier to push something to the next day instead of tackling it and crossing it off your list. 

And I couldn’t be more excited to share this conversation with my good friend, Rob Dial. He’s the mastermind behind the #1 podcast on mindset and motivation which has been downloaded over $250M times called, The Mindset Mentor. He also has a new book titled, Level Up: How to Get Focused, Stop Procrastinating, and Upgrade Your Life.

Today, Rob shares his blueprint for building a life where fears or what-ifs do not hold you back. You’ll learn how to stay driven and focused to chase your biggest goals - even on those days when you don’t feel like it - and upgrade your life.
