This episode is guaranteed to help you move forward with practical insights you can apply — immediately. Brace yourself and get ready to soar as Mike covers the first five of ten factors that will create incredible momentum for you. The five covered in this episode are as follows: 1. Taking 100% responsibility for your life. Stop waiting for someone else to do what you can do to change your life. Stop living with 99%, and give your life your ALL. 2. No longer limiting yourself. There are two limiting factors in your life, and no more — do you even know what they are? Until you do, you won't be able to reach your potential. 3. Not letting others predict your failure. Have you let your past performance give you a reputation that's hard to break out of? You can give yourself a new reputation — if you want it. 4. Working your T.A.P. Without this, nothing will work. 5. Focusing on your LEGACY, not just activity. When you focus ALL your efforts on your legacy, your life will go to the next level. Say no to lesser things, and start living for your legacy. Get encouraging texts from Mike during your week that will help you live with no limits, no fear, and no nonsense.
