About this episode
Rob Jolles discusses the importance of having a plan behind promises rather than avoiding them due to fear of failure.
Promises have gotten a bad reputation. Somewhere along the way, we started believing that if we might fail, we shouldn’t promise at all. In this quick, five-minute Pocket Sized Pep Talk, I’ll challenge that thinking and share why the problem isn’t the promise; it’s the lack of a plan behind it.
