7+1: What I'm reading, watching, listening to, etc...

No matter your age, you’ll always wish you had started younger. But today is the youngest you’ll ever be, so stop prioritizing things that seem important but don’t move you closer to your goal. Focus instead on taking action, no matter how small, that aligns with your long-term vision. 

The real progress begins when you shift your energy away from distractions and excuses, and commit fully to what truly matters. Time is a resource you can’t get back, but every moment is an opportunity to start creating the future you want. Make it count.

BOOK I’M READING

Stories Sell. This book has quickly become my favorite book of the year so far. I reached out to the author and I’m having him on the new podcast we’re relaunching.

This book has already helped me out in just the last 2 weeks! Amazing read.

ARTICLE I’M READING

4 Traps to avoid as you transition into a leadership role. What you do before you start a leadership role is critical to your success in the first 90 days and beyond. It’s tempting to rely on what you know and what’s served you well before, but you risk jumping to the wrong conclusions and heading off in the wrong direction. Instead, be intentional about how you leave, replenish your energy and relationships, and learn about what it takes to succeed in your new role.
