It's a useful exercise to determine what you're the best at in the world, and then build your business around that superpower.""Live a life worth telling a story about.

A big challenge of turning your passion into profits is taking that first step. Procrastination can kill your idea quicker than any customer feedback. Where does procrastination come from and how do we overcome it? In this episode I talk to community member and Tiny Habits coach Mike Coulter about how creating Tiny Habits can get from dreaming to doing. He has a little pop at Simon Sinek and share why he thinks that sometimes starting with why can stop you from starting. Listen to find out more... If anybody wants to get started with Tiny Habits you can read about the free 5 day email based version https://www.tinyhabits.com/program (here). Also, during this episode Mike mentions the book by Scott Adams called How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big: Kind of the Story of My Life, which you can check out https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Fail-Almost-Everything-Still-ebook/dp/B00FHI0XK2/ (here).
Someone with goals might do better than someone without any focus, but try systems instead. Focus on the process and get good outcomes, no matter the result.
