In this episode, I highlight the impact that dedicating 10 minutes a day to a specific task can have. I shared my own goal of writing a book based on the incredible information I’ve learned from interviewing my guests over the last 5 years and how committing 10 minutes each day will make a significant dent in that over the span of a year.
I'm also excited to introduce my new co-host, Dave Ragosa, who's an expert in franchising & entrepreneurship. He'll be joining me on the show next week, stay tuned for that!
I'd love to hear about your own 10-minute commitments, feel free to share them in the comments on YouTube or on my social media that is linked below.
