Why you're not taking action on your goals - and how to fix it
Does any of this sound familiar? You're stuck in passive action - reading about things instead of actually doing them.

Maybe you constantly make promises to yourself that you break, and your self-esteem and self-belief is suffering as a result? This week's episode is for everyone nodding along right now.
