How To Get Another Chance At Anything

No more tips.No more tricks.No more hacks.

Let’s be real, you already know this.

Just like you already know that you need to eat your fruits and veggies, you also know that temporary behaviors will never lead you to long term success.In fact, you’re probably so sick of me saying the same things again and again!But it’s true.

Tips, tricks, and hacks are the “sizzle” of the steak.

The steak itself is the disciplined, day-in, day-out practice of principles and values.You can make those habits small but you have to make them consistent.
