39. Unique Advantage: Gap Management

Jan 19, 2021

Where there is a goal, there will always be a gap. Last week we started down the path of your unique advantages and today we’ll be continuing by talking about the concept of Gap Management. Listen, we all have gaps, and we will always have a gap, so how can we live without the constant pain of not reaching our goals? We’re going to break down, what I believe, are the four steps you can take to manage the gap between you and your progress. 

 

So let’s jump right and learn to take control of this unique advantage you have, and start managing your gaps.
