Make Better Decisions Faster
The Jasmine Star Show
Crisis at the coal mine
Alan recounts arriving at a coal mine in crisis and sensing the team's despair and urgency to hit targets.
What if the only thing holding you back... was a belief?

We talk about:
- The #1 belief that limits most entrepreneurs
- Why bad conditions don’t equal bad results
- A jaw-dropping story of coal miners who beat the odds
- How to make better decisions faster
