💡Redesign your Environment & Stop bad Habits
The Vicious Cycle:
• Bad Habits are set off by Cues
• Cues exist in Environments
• Environments reinforce Bad Habits
Change the environment & then you'll get rid of the cues.
Get rid of the Cues & Bad Habits can't exist.

Your leads decide when they are ready to become your customer — not you.
