The Greatest Gap In Life

In today’s episode, we’re talking about the greatest gap in life. That’s the gap between “I should” and “I did.” John Maxwell calls this the procrastination gap. Today John is going to talk to you about this gap and when good timing becomes procrastination. Then he’ll teach you the 3 P’s that stop procrastination.

Once John is done with his lesson, Mark is joined again by Chris Goede as they discuss the ways in which they apply these principles to their own leadership within the Maxwell Leadership organization.
