The Only Time Your Self Help Practice Matters I...
Are you the type who loves to read personal development books but stops short of actually applying what they read? Be honest, because this happens more often than not. In my years of coaching, I see many people fall into the trap of believing they are creating new results by reading more books, attending more seminars and enrolling in more courses. This is a trap because the real results come from APPLYING what has been learned (and applying again and again and again, until you gain wisdom from experience). In today's Having It A.L.L. Classic episodeI talk about the importance of taking your practice out into the world and seeing if your walk matches your talk.
