In this episode, I am sharing my new favorite mental model: multiplicative systems.   As we learned in elementary school, anything multiplied by zero, equals zero. No matter how great or complex the number, if it is multiplied by zero, it will equal zero.   How does this apply to our lives or businesses?   In anything you are doing in life, no matter how hard you are working, how many people are supporting you, or how much you have succeeded in the past, if you include any 'zero' variable in that mix, the outcome will be... zero.   Today's focusing questions: As you breakdown your business, can you identify any zeros? What can you do starting today, to move that item from zero to anything above zero?   HOW TO ENTER OUR GIVEAWAY As we are approaching our 100th episode, we are excited to announce our very first giveaway.

In today's episode, I dig into the concept of 'choosing your hard'.   In any area of life, whether you take the right steps to get to your goal or you disregard those steps and venture far off of that goal, it is hard. While it can be hard to take the right steps, it can be harder to face the results (or lack there of) when you don't take them. -- Subscribe to our daily texts!   Follow us on Facebook for more daily tips on how to improve your business and your life.   Part of the Win Make Give Podcast Network
