| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Fit for Your Mind Friday, where I share an insight from me to you. |
| 0:12.0 | All right, I've got some real talk for you today. Your excuses will never fix the problem. |
| 0:20.4 | All right, here's the deal. I promised not to people please anymore, |
| 0:23.7 | and I am so committed to helping people break through what's in between you and your results. |
| 0:28.5 | So this is important. Your excuses will never fix the problem. You see, excuses, they feel good. |
| 0:36.3 | They give us a reason. They give us an out. They allow us to not |
