I discuss taking on the 4x4x48 challenge (David Goggins). Specifically, I address:

Why Do This? All goals will have resistance, the more challenging the goals, the greater the resistance. Limiting beliefs (how bad do you want it, know your why)

How Did I Do It? The plan, schedule, and execution

What Important Lessons Did I Learn? Small chunks, keep moving forward, all forward motion is progress.

My hope is you can learn from my experience and use these strategies to make progress and achieve your next BIG goal!

What do I think about on my 44th birthday? Letting go of what was and looking for the opportunities ahead. 

My mantra for 2021 is "I am flexible and resilient to adapt to any situation. I seek the opportunities to take action to improve my situation and the situation of the people I serve in my life. I take action, reflect and learn, and refine my choices moving forward so I always make progress towards the outcomes I want."

My challenge to you in 2021 - What is your opportunity today and what action are you willing to take in this moment to seize it?
