Welcome to Episode 004 of the Be That 1% Podcast Experience!

January’s theme is “All In or All Out”, so we decided to create an episode dedicated completely to helping you find clarity on what you want most and how you can commit to that goal. In this episode we cover the controversy internal battle between what it’s like to be interested in something verses being truly committed. Also, the top fears that hold most people back from achieving their goals and key ways & tricks to move past those fears. Lastly, we cover the best practices to hold yourself to your commitments and share a little bonus of our most recent, scariest commitment we’ve made thus far!

There’s a FREE WORKSHEET that goes along with this episode too.

It gives you the 5 words to eliminate from your vocabulary, 7 ways to prime your mind for success AND 14 questions to ask yourself to help you get clear on what you want most.
