How do you EAT a FROG?!
“If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning. And If it’s your job to eat two frogs, it’s best to eat the biggest one first.” – Mark Twain
What does eating frogs have to do with you and achieving your goals? Listen in to today’s episode as we catch up with Andrew Phillips to discuss the concept of eating frogs, helpful insights into goals and clarity, and the book that changed the way I work in my business – ‘Eat That Frog’ by Brian Tracy.
This episode is packed full of helpful tips and essential ‘frog eating’ steps to ensure that you won’t fall into your comfort zone… We can’t achieve our full potential from the cozy comfort place that we tend to procrastinate within!
We discuss how improving your mindset can help you to be more successful, controlling the way we think, AND the relationship between thoughts and the words we speak/actions we take. Head into this episode with Andrew’s favourite, and very powerful, affirmation at the back of your mind – “I am RESPONSE-ABLE”.
