You're working hard, fighting through fatigue and frustration, Willing yourself to continue to push forward to the results you've been working towards.

Here’s the challenge: • What’s one thing in your life that wouldn’t make the cut if you started fresh? • If you’re holding on, why? Let’s talk—what’s your take on Zero-Based Thinking?
