We all have a story we tell ourselves about where we are in life. Intentionally or not, sometimes that story can get stuck on repeat and become just an excuse for the state of our relationships, health, finances and business. In this episode, Brian unpacks the stories we tell ourselves, explains how challenge and loss can benefit us and teaches how we can write our own happy ending.
YOU WILL LEARN:
- How to identify your personal blind spots.
- How you can go on to succeed after loss.
- Why your story is not over.
