Fix Your Mindset Before You Find Yourself Stuck

Patience will be the death of you. In a world that tells you it's okay to stand still, discover the truth that you are either getting better or you are getting worse, there is no in between. In episode 826 of the Savage Perspective Podcast, host Robert Sikes sits down with leadership expert and author Marcus Aurelius Anderson to discuss why most people get stuck in a victim mentality. They explore how to choose your adversity, build true resilience, find your purpose, and take immediate action. This conversation provides a straightforward guide to fixing your mindset, developing self leadership, and understanding that if you are not actively moving forward, you are falling behind.
