Get What You Want By Focusing On What You Shouldn’t Do

EP.647

During your downtime, do you catch yourself thinking about what you should be doing instead? Lori and I are working on shifting our language around those thoughts when they creep up and soaking up this time that we have in Wisconsin with our friends and family. It can be so easy to become the thief of your own peace by constantly focusing on what you should be doing to make more money and hit bigger goals. But, it’s so important to give yourself a break and enjoy the fruits of your labor. If you don’t, then why are you even hustling in the first place?
