Closing the 18-Inch Gap Podcast-EP070: Today... 20 ways to Stop Inner Defeat!

We all must face ourselves before we face anything else that will hold us back. I have been thinking a lot these past few weeks about the struggles it takes to get through to see the results we are looking for. It takes perseverance and will power to get to the level we seek to reach. While not all of these may necessarily apply to you, I am sure some will. And in each scenario, I will give you something that will help you overcome that which holds you back. It may take some time but be assured that in time, you will succeed.

Quote of the week: "It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer." —Albert Einstein

Each point covered has the meaning that underlines why each one is believed and has a way to create a defeated mindset. But I don't stop there at all. I offer powerful strategies on how to overcome each and everyone of them. There are quite a few valuable diamonds of insight and wisdom in each point so make sure you give it a listen:

12. You're Waiting Until You're Ready

13. You Let Emotions Lead

14. You've Been Told "It's Too Late"

Some will challenge you. Others will champion you.
But all of them—when understood—can and will shape you.
