Is it a valid reason, or is it just an excuse? Today, Leila (@LeilaHormozi) talks about why people don't do things she wants or don't get done in the workplace. She explains that pointing to the most convenient excuse is not helpful and challenges viewers to replace unhelpful thoughts with actionable reasons for success.
Welcome to Build where we talk about the lessons I have learned in scaling big businesses, gaining millions in sales, and helping our portfolio companies do the same. Buckle up, because we’re creating an unshakeable business.

0:42.6 | because my voice is low, promise you. I'm a woman. You can ask my husband. That being said, |
