Delaying Gratification

I am getting ready for another bit of travel. This time, I’ll be thinking of you! I’m heading to a retreat with my coach. We’ll be doing a deep dive into the business and planning for next year. While I’m planning, I want to think about how I can help you and what it is you need. If you’re thinking about next year, what does that look like for you? Send me a message on social media and let me know!  

When you set a big goal for yourself, it doesn’t always happen now. I recently heard about a study on delayed gratification and the impact it has throughout our lives and in order to achieve our goals.
