Hi friends,
This week’s episode is full of interesting content on sociology & psychology, time management & productivity and ancient wisdom brought into our daily life.
The fact you’re reading this means you’re lucky because you put yourself in a continuous position of opportunity - searching for growth, searching to push yourself.
Before we start, a great quote from Hal Elrod that reminds us all of the importance of self-development;
Our outer world will always be a reflection of our inner world. Our level of success is always going to parallel our level of personal development. Until we dedicate time each day to developing ourselves into the person we need to be to create the life we want, success is always going to be a struggle to attain.
Happy learning!
