In this episode of the Value Race Podcast, I examine the powerful impact of our thoughts through the lens of self-fulfilling prophecies, referencing insights from Jim Rohn and Tony Robbins. I share my struggles with negative thought cycles during tough entrepreneurial periods and emphasize the importance of focusing on gratitude and positivity.

I encourage listeners to evaluate their thought patterns and celebrate their achievements, highlighting the significant influence our internal dialogues have on our lives.
