Today, in our first episode of 2024 I am joined by Sandro Forte, an inspirational professional speaker, author and successful entrepreneur.  We discuss Sandro’s view on success and how to go about setting your goals for 2024.  He also shares with you how to view obstacles and challenges this coming year, as well as sharing how he copes with his “little voice” and overthinking.

Enjoy tuning in!

Key Learning Points:

• Success is relative and can mean different things to different people. It's about achieving outcomes, not necessarily extraordinary ones.
• Focus on the process, not the outcome. Outcomes take care of themselves when you get the process right.
• Use "goal cards" to write down goals in present tense as if already achieved. This trains the subconscious mind.
• Avoid the "discouragement club" - people who give reasons not to do things.
• Mental toughness can be learned through repetition and discipline.
