"The path to success is to take massive action." Sometimes we can feed ourselves to the point of slumber, and we get addicted to the inspiration instead of getting addicted to action. We have everything we need to live a fulfilled life, but often we fail to put into practice the things that will bring us results. We settle for another book, seminar, podcast or tedtalk, to keep busy. The end result is failure due to lack of action.  Do you want to be among other top shelf podcasters like myself?  Click on the link below to learn more about what it takes to start your own podcast.
