Question Your Default Mode
Description
In this episode, Melissa answers a relatable question posed in Velocity Work’s private Mastery Group and her response serves up some lessons that will change your firm. They start with you.
We all hit barriers or obstacles on the path to our goals. And at some point, most of us react with our brain’s default mode; we get tired, we don’t want to deal with it, we don't see a path forward and we create a mess of thoughts and ideas in our head. Sometimes we place blame ourselves, sometimes on other people, software or processes. Sometimes we do that all at once!
That mess feels and looks like a classic case of overwhelm.
But you have way more power here than you might think. Listen to learn how you can remove the mental log-jam and get back on track to your goals.
Ask your tough questions and get feedback from Melissa and a community of other owner attorneys building the businesses they want. Join Mastery Group at www.velocitywork.com/join
