558 – One Barrel At A Time

It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the big, little and in-between things of life. This week’s WELSTech discusses taking things one step, or barrel, at a time. That is the metaphor Brian Tracy uses when trying to determine where you’re heading and staying on course. We received good feedback on audio quality from “listeners” and take a look at some education/summer learning Tweets.

The discussion:

Prep & Direction – Martin and Sallie return to our summer book discussion of Eat That Frog! by Brian Tracy. Chapters 9 & 10 deal with getting ready to work so that no distractions or obstacles discourage you, and taking one step at a time to avoid being overwhelmed.
