Will Ahmed | You Can Only Manage What You Measure
In this episode, Will Ahmed shares how routine and structure add so much to your life. They give you the daily wins that create momentum. The momentum that creates opportunities. BUT, it's so important to make sure forced deviation does not set you off of the rails. You need to be okay even in the times your routine is checked.
And always remember, control the controllables.
