This is the third of 3 posts on goal setting excuses. (Here are the first and second posts in the series.)

You know how some potential career changers stay stuck within fearful imaginary scenarios - and then use that imagined fear to avoid taking action…
… with the result that nothing much changes.
Well, if that sounds like you - and you want to do something about it - then here’s a special offer that can help.
I’ve developed […]

Even though it was way back in 1980, I can still recall doing 105 press ups on the evening of the 10th October - my 20th birthday.
105 remains my personal best and the closest I’ve come since then is 80 - achieved last year after a few months of daily practice, working my way up […]
