Getting Out of Your Own Way with Aaron Velky - Episode 199
Are you sabotaging yourself? In this episode, host Ian Lobas & Aaron Velky reveal why everyone gets in their own way in some capacity and what to do about it.
They discuss how our days can get filled with one distraction after the other and they guide us through the process of auditing our patterns and routines to detect when this is happening. These business partners show us how to detect blindspots and develop an awareness of the fears that are leaving us frozen and stuck.
