Howdy, Zack here.

When you're fooling yourself, you're the fool.

You can wake up day after day and pretend that everything is okay.

You can put on a good smile and 'fake it until you make it', as they say.

You might fool your peers, your team, and even your family.

But, deep down, you know you're struggling.

I know, I've been the fool.

I allowed issues to stack up in work and life.

I put off doing numerous things I knew I needed to do.

I didn't handle those tough situations, because it would be hard.

Do you know what happened? It only got worse.

Until you're honest with yourself...

Nothing will change.

​

Are you ready to stop fooling yourself? Here's how...

3 STEPS

• Find a 'Lint Brother or Sister'​
  That's someone who you can reach deep down into your pockets with and 'pull out the lint of your life'.
• Ask for their Trust & Share Openly​
  This person should be someone who you can 100% trust with your deepest struggles. Ask them to meet monthly for a bit.
• Make a List & Prioritize Your Plan​
  Knock out an easy win from your list first. It will feel good. Then, tackle the bigger issues next. Each month, be honest with where you're at. Truly honest. Don't pretend. You're done with that. Show up, do the work, and stop being the fool.
