Summary

Without having a starting point, how will you ever know if you make progress? The truth is you won’t. If you want to lose weight but never step on a scale, how can you tell if something’s changed? You need real facts in order to establish if you’re evolving. For any listener of the podcast, it’s no secret that I love pretty much any gadget or toy that allows me to track and monitor both my habits and my vitals. Getting the facts of where you’re at provides a launching pad for infinite improvement in your life. Listen to find additional strategies on defining your current starting point and how to build a foundation.
