Summary

On today’s episode, Darren Hardy reveals the master skill of success. This week, practice saying no to the things that don’t move you closer to your goals. Focus on the one or two things you want to MASTER, while letting everything else go. Remember, 20% of what you do creates 80% of your results. Let go of the 80 and do more of the 20.
