Episode 31: Show Notes

The world is full of negativity, and it’s so easy to get caught up in the issues of the day (such as the declining markets).

SAGE stands for Self-awareness, Accountability, Growth, and Empowerment, and it’s not the only acronym you are going to want to incorporate into your life after this show! Kyle also explains how the accountability PASS will help you take the leap from decision to commitment, and how his WISER strategy can turn you into a much better listener. We also discuss the importance of being present, why you should focus more on your strengths than your weaknesses, and the value of measuring the progress you are making in all areas of your life.
