Edition#61: Durability, Positive Reinforcement, Defining Your Reason

Tips To Perform Better

1. To keep advancing our skills and building durability in our performance, we must address three areas before continually implementing the actions needed to evolve:

1. Defining your WHY (your deeper outcome)

2. Describing your process (how will you achieve XYZ)

3. Making those efforts as easy as possible
