Mastering a habit takes a lot of self-discipline and focus. But it is in mastering your habits that you could achieve success.

In this episode, Blaine Oelkers shares what it takes to truly develop a habit without falling back to your usual routine and procrastinating. We can learn from his experience as someone who’s been working from home for 27 years, how he’s able to push himself forward and kept himself motivated regardless of how he’s feeling physically or emotionally.

Blaine is the founder of Selfluence & WYTAYBA (What You Think About You Bring About).
