Tiny Leaps, Big Changes

Pick up the #ProgressFirst collection now through December 31st. http://shoptinyleaps.com

In this episode, I talk about hobbies and why you should have some.

In this episode we talk about how to stop caring so much about what other people think. I think many of us struggle with this worry about everybody else and what they think about us. I talk about how we can stop filtering ourselves through what we believe others think. 

Key Points:

· Why you have to start with you

· It's not about you, it's about them

· Question your thinking

· Keep things in perspective
