I’m teaching a LIVE workshop later this November to teach you how to make ANY goal stick.
Look - the truth is, most people never come close to achieving their goals - and it’s not because they’re not smart enough, or not worthy. It’s because they aren’t using the right strategies to stick to doing the work that’s going to lead to their success. Make no mistake, achieving goals is a PROCESS - that means you can learn it and get better at it. To join me and register your seat, go to live.impacttheory.com.

If you’ve ever spent even a moment kicking yourself and wondering why you get stuck in negative thoughts, or wondering why everyone else seems to have the success you don’t have, this is for you. If succeeding came naturally, the self help industry wouldn’t be a $10 billion plus gold mine, and you’d be successful already. Tom is breaking down 5 simple strategies you can actually implement today to start training your brain for success. Forget what you thought you knew about being successful. If you are not mentally prepared for the setbacks, the anxiety, and the difficulties that come along with the cost of just living, then you’re setting yourself up for failure by default.
