067: How to Believe Your Success is Inevitable
Send us Fan Mail When you set a goal and decide to work for something, there is a part of you that believes you will accomplish it, or else you wouldn’t be setting the goal in the first place! Now, oftentimes, there is also a part of you that believes you cannot achieve it. And this is the part of you that we have to work on and we have to shift, because that little part of you that doesn't believe it's possible will create that self-fulfilling prophecy. In today’s episode, I’m here to help you walk through ways that you will build confidence and truly believe that your success is inevitable!

Today I chat about the four goals I had set at the beginning of the year, and what working toward those goals has looked like for me. Hopefully, as I go through those goals and give you a little report, you will recognize that just because you don't complete your goals doesn't mean you shouldn't be setting them.

Send us Fan MailOur brains are hardwired to keep us alive, #fact, but one way they do this is by subconsciously creating “All or nothing” mentalities for us to revert to. What does this mean?
