FOMO is big and we all need to learn how to snap out of it. Think about it: you’re afraid if you focus on THIS, you might miss out on THAT. So you spread your bets. You play small. You put a little energy into a lot of different projects, opportunities, and problems because... You’re not confident which will actually pay off. It’s ok. No judgment. I do it. We all do it. So the question is: what if we could focus on just a few things with CONFIDENCE? P.S. Did you know we're in the top 10% most shared globally podcasts?
