Listen "EP 11 We Don't Plan to Fail, We Fail to Plan"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode we discuss the critical importance of planning in achieving goals and overcoming obstacles. Through my own personal experiences I’ve learned, a lack of planning can lead to failure and despair. This episode also covers the mental barriers people face, like fear and doubt, and how these can be mitigated through thorough preparation and rehearsal. Ultimately, we must incorporate meticulous planning in our daily lives to unlock opportunities and succeed.
