As soon as elected officials meet in a boardroom or votes are tallied behind closed doors, whatever that system’s goal was, is now compromised. This is the reality of centralization, and if you look across our society, you see it in every sector.Learn more about your ad choices.

The productivity books we read and podcasts we listen to are, in a sense, a distraction from the work we know we need to do. But that is all just our mind playing tricks on us. You have to spend time sharpening your axe. And our axe is our mind, and our sharpener is knowledge.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices See omnystudio.com/listener for ...

Sometimes the path to self-improvement requires brutal force. And in a world where self-help books coddle your ego, achieving your desired results is difficult to manifest. Inviting criticism is a way to hack your motivation centers by giving others direct access to your ego. When you flaunt your weaknesses, the feedback you receive, if absorbed as pain but reoriented as fuel, can improve day-to-day performance.Learn more about your ad choices.

Say your video’s call-to-action is too explicit; a viewer will see that and turn the other way. Or if the product’s need is not rooted in enough emotional weight, the potential customer might not feel incentivized enough to purchase. Whatever the case may be, the cure to this is to tell relatable stories.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/...
