Resistance Sucks but it’s Necessary,
Here’s Why
In this episode, I discuss the concept of resistance and its impact on productivity and personal growth. Despite not feeling up to recording today, I felt it was important to address this common challenge.
Resistance affects us all and can hinder our progress, but it also offers opportunities for growth. I share my own struggles with balancing responsibilities as a parent and business owner, especially with my kids on a year-round school schedule. I explain my Accountability Code, which includes six steps: reflection, humility, planning, implementing, commitment, and feedback.
Each step involves dealing with resistance in different ways, and I offer practical tips to overcome these obstacles.
