887 The 5 Second Rule To Change Your Life with Mel Robbins

Published: Dec. 11, 2019, 5:01 a.m.

b'OUR THOUGHTS ARE DREAM KILLERS. The bigger the dream, the more fear you\\u2019re going to have. But to grow, you have to take on new challenges. It\\u2019s a real catch-22. I\\u2019m very curious about fear and self-doubt. In fact, I\\u2019m writing a book about it. In this new year, I want to challenge you to change the way you think about the things that scare you. I want you to start embracing difficult situations and stop letting yourself get in your way. Once you do, nothing will stop you. So how can we harness our thoughts so they start to work for us and not against us? On today\\u2019s episode of The School of Greatness, I\\u2019m re-sharing a previous episode about facing fears with the creator of the \\u201cFive Second Rule:\\u201d Mel Robbins. Mel Robbins is the most booked female speaker on the planet with a 7 figure speaking business. Oh yeah, she\\u2019s also a bestselling author, a former criminal defense attorney, a CNN commentator, happily married for 20 years, and a mom of 3 kids. But what I really fell in love with about Mel was her passion, energy, straight-talking truth, and beautiful vulnerability. I\\u2019m pumped to re-share Mel\\u2019s incredible wisdom about how she overcame procrastination, fear, and low self-confidence after a devastating career blow and financial hardship.
