Summary
“The road to success has more than speedbumps; it has detours.” — Brian Buffini
What keeps most people from succeeding? Although the specifics vary by person, the reasons fall into one (or more) of three categories. In this episode, Brian outlines the three biggest threats to success and offers solutions to help you overcome them. You’ll learn how digital distractions prevent you from achieving success; why your social connections not only help you live longer, but also improve your chances for reaching your potential; and how drift often leads us into unhappiness and prevents us from thriving in all areas of life. By the end of the episode, you’ll be prepared and inspired to overcome the obstacles that are holding you back.
Combat the three threats to success by signing up for one of Buffini & Company’s great events: Brian Buffini’s Success Tour and Buffini & Company’s GameChangers. Visit buffiniandcompany.com to learn more!
