WCP 151 But, but, and

Today we are talking about goals. I’ve talked again and again about being aware of your potential obstacles when setting a goal. There are going to be challenges and so it’s important to plan on how to deal with those challenges.    When we’ve created an internal obstacle, we also have the power to shift it. It’s about changing your perspective, shifting your narrative, and managing your mindset. In this episode, I’ll teach you how you can shift your “but” to “and” and see how that one switch could really change things that will point you where your next action step is.
