“Your goals and prizes should be tangible” - Tai Lopez

Very few people understand the the risk/reward bias in human brains, and how it can hold you back from achieving what you want to achieve.
Many people have an inaccurate understanding of the amount of pain, or work, that it will take for them to achieve their goals, as compared to the amount of happiness it will bring them when they finally do achieve those goals.
This is why humans procrastinate.
If they really understood the value, to them, of achieving what they were striving for in all its detail, they would not procrastinate but would be motivated to do the amount of work necessary to achieve that goal.
This episode shows you how you can change that subs-conscious misunderstanding in your own life, to help you overcome the instinct to procrastinate, and rather get down to work creating the life of your dreams!
