If you’re like me, you have more trouble with following through with ideas than you do coming up with new ideas. I am a serial quitter. I have ADHD and I am often working on 5 things at once. BUT. In this episode I want to share 5 things that have helped me stay consistent long enough to make 500 episodes of the same podcast, publish over 10 books and work with clients like X-Box, Nickelodeon and Apple over the past 15 years.

This episode ends with a CALL TO ADVENTURE called “MAKE SUM-THING OF YOURSELF”. This action is something you can do in an instant, that in my experience INSTANTLY increases your ability to follow through and achieve what you set out to achieve.
