Good morning and welcome to the 5 a.m. Miracle, episode number 616. Pause and recalibrate,

why strategy is more important than your next task. I am Jeff Sanders, and you have reached

the podcast that is dedicated to dominating your day before breakfast. I am a keynote

speaker and corporate trainer, and to learn more about those options, head over to jeffsanders.com

where things are the way they are because you said, this is how they're going to be. You make your

decision, you get in, you do your thing, and you going to be. You make your decision. You get in.

You do your thing.

You have your habits.

You have your routines.

You have your goals.

Your life is in your hands.

You're in control.

I love that attitude.

I love the perspective.
