Summary
Today we're going to be discussing motivation, procrastination, and the feeling of being inadequate. Everyone has doubt - everyone is scared.
Scared of failure. Scared of looking stupid. Scared of the unknown, really. I want to address all of these topics today - which are so critical to your success. I'm going to share some insight that I think will help you look at things a little differently. Just know that you're capable of MORE.
