Takeaways + Tactics

In order to reach our goals, there has to be something motivating us beyond turning the calendar at the beginning of the year. We have to implement strategy and action to reach that goal in order to push through the inevitable challenges, pivots and shifts. Before you have a breakthrough, you’re going to get bored because the new thing inevitably becomes old.

In those moments many agents shift to the next thing and become inconsistent. To combat that we need to have a strong intention, focus, consistency and determination. This is what will lead to breakthrough.
