We all have self-imposed limitations that we put on ourselves for a number of reasons. We consistently beat ourselves up for why we don't have, don't do the things that we feel and know we need to do to be successful. But the problem is that these are fabricated beliefs that we tell ourselves. Our limitations are based on poor belief habits and patterns that we have cultivated. Dr. Casey Coleman and his business partner Dr. Joses Ngugi are young entrepreneurs who started their business Pre-PT grind while they were in physical therapy school. They also launched another business called the Cash in class system where they teach students how to make money while they are in school. Listen as Casey Coleman shares why we have self limiting beliefs about ourselves and how we can overcome these limiting beliefs PERMANENTLY.
