0:00.0	Welcome to Darren Daly on demand, your most trusted resource to help you become better every day.
0:07.3	Here's your success mentor, Darren Hardy.
0:13.5	Good morning. So are you ready for a full out and fast-paced day? Well, the treadmill of life has sped up. Have you noticed? More and more is coming
0:22.5	out as constantly alerts, emails, text messages, notifications, updates, and feeds, and the rest.
0:28.2	In the attempt to keep up with it all, we end up looking like an octopus and heat. Appendages

1:33.6	before I go on stage so that I give it a fresh start. And I also disconnect the Wi-Fi so that
1:39.9	any other auto-sinking, eye messages, or outside interruptions won't happen while I'm on stage.
