We often characterize facets of life as finite, meaning they have an end.  There is no ending to fitness or intelligence.  Likewise, there is no ending in the game of business.  You do not wake up one day and realize the game is over.  You have won the game of business.  The game persists.  You may achieve business milestones such as number one in your market or a million dollars in revenue.  The game does not end; the game continues.

What if there is a cheaper and more effective way to master these essential business skills?

Why do you keep doing that?  Do you have behavior patterns that you want to change?  If you are like most people, you struggle with behavior (or lack thereof) holding you back or limiting success in various life areas.  You want to lose weight, but you cannot ignore the donuts at the office.  You want to save money, but you cannot resist the sale at the electronics store.  This type of cognitive dissonance is present in everyone.  You are not alone, and you are not dysfunctional.  You are human.

We are experiencing fatigue.   Fatigue is physical or mental weariness resulting from effort or activity.  You are tired of Covid-19, isolation from others, and the fear of catching a virus in the middle of a global pandemic.  Adapting to changes in routine proves to be problematic over time. It's called "pandemic fatigue," and it could be affecting you.
