Back in March when we first started to work from home due to COVID-19, I set a goal for myself. Even though I didn’t have to commute to work anymore, I still wanted to pretend I did. So I started going for walks in the morning. Sometimes, it was just around the block. But the more I did it, the more I realized how much better it made my days. Pretty quickly I decided I’d try my best to hit 10,000 steps every day. And a routine kind of fell into place from there. Sure I’ve missed some days, but for the most part, I’ve stuck to my goal.
My secret for getting out the door every single day? I listen to podcasts.
If you want to learn something or get better at something – there’s a podcast out there that can help you. So every morning, I get to go outside, stretch my legs, and learn something new. How cool is that?
I could talk about podcasts for hours (and I have, it’s kind of my job). Right now is an amazing time to be a podcast listener, but with so many choices, it’s hard to know which ones you should invest your time in (shameless plug to check out the HYPERGROWTH Network).
And for my friends in sales who are looking to up their game (and their daily step count), I’ve got a special list for you. I went around and gathered some of the top sales podcasts you need to subscribe to ASAP 👇
