Make Tomorrow Easier: Stop Putting Off the Hard Stuff

A nail in the tire, a busy day, and a choice: fix it now or leave it for later. Too often in business, we put off the hard stuff, telling ourselves we’ll deal with it tomorrow. But tomorrow always comes, and that’s when the real stress hits. In this episode, Chris Green shares how “temporal discounting” trips up business owners and why tackling today’s problems in the moment is one of the smartest moves you can make. So… what are you doing today to make tomorrow easier?
