That rush is not just a habit anymore. It is actively rewriting your subconscious beliefs about what is possible for you in your business, and it is happening way beneath your conscious awareness. Every time you check and find nothing, your brain files it as evidence. Evidence that it is not working, that results do not come easily to you, that maybe you are just someone who has to work harder than everyone else. And the worst part?
