What\u2019s your biggest distraction? Is it over-thinking the most insignificant things at the worst times? Or is it more external, like social media, constant phone notifications, or what others are doing and saying? Distraction has been said to be the enemy of vision, the enemy of direction, and even the root of all failure. In this episode, Tom is answering questions to help you avoid distractions and take your goals to the next level by creating rules for yourself that will keep you on track. As Tom always says, \u201caction cures all,\u201d and if you find yourself easily and chronically distracted from what matters, there are definitely some nuggets of advice you can take action on right now.\n\nAs you know, it\u2019s my mission to help teach you how to build the MINDSET and SKILLS that will help you live an extraordinary life - and over the last few months I\u2019ve been working hard behind the scenes to help create a brand-new tool that will help you do that.
