Self-Motivation, Grit, and the Power of Habit – #StartTuesday | 5-10-16

#StartTuesday is a series, curated weekly for growth minded professionals and life-long learners.

“Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.”
― Jim Rohn

SPECIAL NOTE: This last week I did lot of driving. Including a round trip from Scottsdale, Arizona to Fresno, California in one day.

As a result I didn’t read as much as I normally might and that’s why this week’s #StartTuesday is comprised entirely of podcasts episodes. The following is a best-of collection from binge-listening while I logged this past week’s many miles of driving.

Enjoy!
