Do you ever feel overwhelmed by your goals or find yourself distracted by "shiny objects" instead of following your plan?

In this episode, Rob and Kieran dive into the psychology of getting things done and why building self-esteem starts with the simplest tasks, like drinking a glasses of water.

We break down the core concepts from three life-changing books: "Eat That Frog" by Brian Tracy, "Just One Thing," and "The Compound Effect."

We discuss why doing the hardest task first (eating the frog) sets your entire day up for success and how "micro-wins" stack up to create massive life changes.
