What Gets in the Way (of your advancement)

ByMatthew

What keeps so many employees back is simply unwillingness to pay the price, to make the exertion, the effort to sacrifice their ease and comfort. – Orison Swett Marden

You’re not lazy.

You’re not scared (not really… ).

You’e not a bad person in any way (not really… )

So what stops you from paying the price and making the sacrifice?

It would require change.

We are programmed to not change.

Understanding the neuro-biology of not changing is the key to making changes that benefit you.

But that’s a matter for another post.
