Cobwebs to Cables

Melissa Shanahan’s 30-day sprint: A stepping stone towards higher achievement

I’ve been participating in Melissa Shanahan’s 30-day sprint. I’ve gained so many valuable insights and practical takeaways that have helped me start working at a much higher level. The way Melissa gets results is by helping you achieve more—but without that achievement coming at the expense of your enjoyment of life. But there is a mindset shift that has to happen and that’s what we’ll talk about in this episode.
