"100% Accountable" is our 7 Mindset focus for January!
The second pillar of this mindset looks at how to "Overcome Limiting Beliefs." Sometimes when you want to try something new or do something you have never done before, there is a little voice in your head that tells you that you can’t. The little voice may tell you that the goal you want to accomplish is too hard or will take too long. Don’t listen! You can do anything you set your mind to and work hard for!
