82: My Secret Weapon To Get The Hard Stuff Done, with Joan Posivy

To hit new milestones this year and achieve big, bold, beautiful goals, you're going to have to do some things differently than you've done in the past and push yourself to do things you've never done before.

But there's a problem.

Everyone of us is a creature of habit.  And it’s our habit patterns that hold us back from taking the new actions we know we need to take.

I found a solution.

And it’s been a driving force behind EVERY major success I’ve achieved.

Sharing what it is and how you too can set it up, is the focus of today’s short, sweet, yet powerful episode.

Let me know what you think. I'd love to hear your feedback.

Buy Joan a coffee? She'd really appreciate it!
