| 0:30.0 | Welcome to Productivity Paradox. I'm your host, Tanya Dalton, and this is episode 103. |
| 0:36.4 | We're continuing our season on planning for success, and over the past few |
| 0:40.6 | weeks, we've talked quite a bit about goal setting. I've gotten such great feedback on these episodes |
| 0:46.5 | that I've decided to go ahead and host a free five-day goal setting challenge to help jump-start |
| 0:52.3 | your goals. So I'm going to share details |

| 1:40.2 | of you who weren't able to listen, I would really encourage you to check out that episode, Episode 102. |
| 1:46.3 | I was really excited to share her story because I thought she might be just the inspiration |
| 1:51.8 | we needed for today's topic. |
| 1:54.5 | Because today, we are going to be focusing on our obstacles and overcoming them. |
