Have you "decided" or just thinking about it?

Have you "decided" or just thinking about it?

Author: Dan Miller - 48 Days & Glassbox Media October 20, 2023 Duration: 42:06

You know I rarely have a guest on - but today I do because of how this particular topic is a building block for creating the life you love.

Whether it's in quitting your job, getting a new car, moving into your dream house, getting into better health, starting your own business, or becoming a millionaire - it all starts with a decision.

So today I have my friend Alan Thomas on with me. 

Alan has a process he calls "Rethink Dieting" - and his approach is right in line with how to achieve success in any area of your life.

So, grab your cup of tea - or maybe your Mt. Dew - and get ready for a power-packed episode filled with practical advice, inspiring stories, and valuable resources to help maximize your opportunities.

Questions: 

1. What does it mean to really decide to do something? 

2. Why do some people mask their feelings of inferiority by being overweight? 

3. Why good people resist being told what to do. 

4. Why success (or failure) in one area of our lives spills over into the other areas.
