What if there were ONE skill that you could practice daily that would automatically make you better at everything else that you did in your day? Plus, it’s free and anyone can do it. (Even with little time on your hands.) This type of skill is what is referred to as a “meta-skill” and many of the world's most productive people and high performers have reported practicing this one skill as well…Hit play to find out what it is!  Welcome back to another episode of the Unlimited Potential Show. Over the last 80+ episodes, we have brought up the topic of meditation here or there several times. That's why we decided it was time to take a full episode and share what you need to know.  During our conversation, we discuss what the science says about meditation and our personal beliefs about why everyone needs to have this in their daily lives. Even if you know nothing about meditation or if you have tried and failed in the past, we share our best tips and tricks on how to get started and remain consistent.  You’ll also hear why this transformation experience is practiced by the world elites, and how 80% of the world's top professionals and performers across every industry are reported to do the same.
