Ep #504: Determination

Brooke Castillo
About this episode

We know that building a business or trying anything new comes with a lot of trial and error.

 

Unfortunately, we’ve been taught that error is bad. We should just quit.

 

My friends, I urge you not to quit. Instead, develop the skill of determination.

 

In this episode, discover what it means to truly be determined, how to develop this skill, and how to maintain it. Learn how to keep going when faced with adversity, not to reach the end result faster, but to become who you want to be along the way.
