2347 - Self-Deception - Self-Protection or Self-Destruction
A question I often ask myself is... "Am I full of sh*t?" I ask this often because I see it often with clients. Rarely are the client aware of it, but they often have "gaps" between their perception and their actions... they believe themselves to be doing an action correctly or consistently but when you track their efforts, the data doesn't support what they feel. In today's podcast we discuss how these gaps can either hold us back or help us identify what will truly allow us to reach success.
