106 - Taking the Strange Out of Change

There are no "how to lose" books in the library. Just reading the self help books won't work either until you have a better self image. Nothing works until you learn to believe in yourself.

This episode has some powerful output on what you input into your subconscious. You can change when you choose to. You can grow at any age.  That's rank. Think rank.

Almost doesn't get you there. Plan. Commit. Execute. That's what winners do. That's what works. Do your thinking before you nod your head. Do your thinking in training.
