We will learn: The secret pivotal stage that comes after you've mastered tough tasks Why forcing discipline is a flawed strategy, and how to inject structure into your routine The life-altering shift that happens when you reduce the space between idea and action Can you be real with yourself for a moment? A part of you already knows what you want. And you know what you need to do. The hard part is actually getting yourself to do the thing. The problem is that our comfort zones are… comfy. We don’t like to leave them. But if you keep making the decisions you’ve always made, you’re going to keep building up walls that keep you where you are. You are responsible for the life you create.

He is CEO and Founder of Work On Your Game Inc. He has given 4 TEDx Talks and has authored 35 books. Dre had a 9-year professional basketball career, playing in 8 countries.
