Quick Hit #55: The Death Spiral Of Scarcity
On the latest Academy Quick Hit Episode, I deep dive into what I call the "Death Spiral Of Scarcity" we all experience from time to time. I'll argue this happens at least once a day — and how you and I can break this pattern with a simple shift of awareness and going within. The difference between those who create and produce, plus are fulfilled consistently is not about some massive superhuman talent or skill... It's the ability to recognize emotions and shift at a moment's notice from scarcity into abundance. THE 1% RULE IS NOW OUT!
