Jill McAbe is a bestselling author, teacher and coach in the fields of business success, finding one’s purpose, and the science of high performance and change. In this episode of The Sigrun Show, Jill joins me to discuss how online entrepreneurs can use neuroscience to program the brain and break through any self-inflicted blocks.
Jill shares how she became interested in goals and what we need to do to reach them. She explains what hot goals are, and how neuroscience helps us to understand these subconscious goals.
Jill is particularly interested in how people in their 50s and 60s can reprogram their brains. This can lead to more meaningful lives and living with purpose. We talk about the relatively easy things that we can do to make this happen.
We also discuss what she included in her book – It’s Go Time: Build the Business and Life You Really Want – to help entrepreneurs succeed and reach goals they may have felt were previously unachievable.
