How To Stack The Odds Of Success In Your Favor | Episode 580

How To Stack The Odds Of Success In Your Favor | Episode 580

In this one, I share with you my opening session from day 2 of the Dan Kennedy Mastermind in Cleveland, Ohio.

I share with you a revelation that I had a few years ago about how although there are many business owners you COULD be competing within your town, the reality is that it's not as many as you think.

When you make the decision to live a certain way, or act a certain way, or to invest in yourself and develop yourself you aren't competing with everyone else in town - you're down to about one or two at best.

That's why I say you can stack the odds of success in your favor - at the very least you SHORTEN the odds drastically.

Turn me up nice and loud and get ready to book those seats at PPM LIVE 23 on October 19th-22nd.
