This episode is all about the force pulling you toward action, and the one whispering that you should just stay in bed. I'll show you how to flip the script and walk into Monday morning excited, not exhausted, before the week even starts. Featured Story Last week, I had a call that's still echoing in my mind. A client told me, "Scott, I'm fine Monday through Friday. It's Sunday at 4 p.m. that ruins my life." I laughed because I knew exactly what she was talking about.
