5 Levels of Intention | Road to Revenue #103
There is a very simple equation for life. What you pay attention to (aka what you’re aware of) plus where you put intention in (aka what you think, say, do, and believe) equals the coincidences that happen in your life. Intention has levels, however, which means that we need to further examine how we are utilizing our time and activities. I’m a big believer in being a “Student of Your Calendar”, which is an intentional approach that analyzes the calendar with lenses of productivity, accessibility, and gratitude.So many people tell me that they are doing “all the right things” but not receiving their desired results, and it is their level of intention which is holding them back.Tweet me your takeaway from today’s episode @davidmeltzer Email Me! david@dmeltzer.comSign up for my Free Weekly Training https://free.dmeltzer.com/friday-training-1Text Me!
