"The path to success is to take massive action." Sometimes we can feed ourselves to the point of slumber, and we get addicted to the inspiration instead of getting addicted to action.

We settle for another book, seminar, podcast or tedtalk, to keep busy. The end result is failure due to lack of action. Do you want to be among other top shelf podcasters like myself?
