Create a Spartan Mindset

by Create a Spartan Mindset

I am Michael Awad an IT Manager in my mid-thirties. In these podcasts, I talk about creating a strong mindset and motivating yourself in a job that requires sitting behind a desk all day. It requires hard work and I believe the only way to achieve happiness and keep yourself motivated is to take the path of most resistance, and embrace the process in life as well as in your professional career. Forget about the result mindset and start believing in the process!
