Do you feel like you're always rushing and never accomplishing anything meaningful? It's time to ditch the addiction to speed and rediscover the power of patience.
We know that "Slow and steady wins the race" yet today's culture has a new obsession, SPEED. We want to get rich quick, build abs in 10 minutes and we want to go everywhere and we want to do it NOW.
This episode will recalibrate how you think about progress and recalibrate your approach to goals, habits, and mindset. Stop seeking instant gratification and superficial gains. Ditch distraction and shift your focus from superficial productivity to deep, compounding gains.
Slow down and rediscover the joy of the journey without racing to the destination!
