Step 6.1: Don’t Just Stand There, Bust A Move (Everyday)
To paraphrase Young MC, getting after it daily with military rigor and precision will be the difference between success and being stuck where you are. This isn't about hoping for luck. It's about creating your own momentum through consistent, precise action every day.
