Tom has a powerful truth to drop on you — Success doesn't care about your feelings. It doesn't care if you woke up today feeling like a champion or if you felt like crawling back into bed. It doesn't care how you felt yesterday or how you'll feel tomorrow. Success is indifferent to your emotions — it demands action.

 

In this episode, Tom discusses…

  • Not letting your feelings dictate your actions

  • Doing what's necessary, no matter how you feel

  • Success doesn't care about your feelings — it demands action and effort
