What is the difference between action and activity?  In today’s episode of Cure For The Common Life, I break down just that and discuss how those concepts can be applied to achieve your goals. For our dreams to become a reality, we first need a solid foundation to be put in place. The principles you lay down during this process will act as your blueprint and are also summed up in the ‘4 Key Steps’ that I discuss in this episode. Creating structure and routine is vital in our success and is not something that will happen overnight. It’s a daily practice, one which takes time and perseverance to maintain, but all of that can and will be achieved with the right attitude. It will be a challenging road and we have to remember to reward ourselves along the way - we’re only human after all!   So, if you’re interested to learn more and start taking control of your goals, sit back, and join me on the journey of self-development! In This Episode You Will Learn:A small part of my background that will shed light on the influence my father had on my work ethic growing up.
