About this episode

Drop your #StepCheck in the comments!


Welcome back to another episode of The HigherUp Podcast. In this episode, I share my thoughts on emotional decision making when it comes to being successful.


I believe making decisions based on emotions is a guaranteed way to never have what you want. Whether it be in fitness, finance, or business.


Successful people such as Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Alex Hormozi, Chris Bumstead, and any other elite performer you emulate all share this trait. They always do what they must. Not what they feel like.


What is your take on this? Let me know with a comment.
