Tks Innovators

People ask me all the time, "how can I be doing TKS better?" Instead of focusing on the little things you can do, I wanted to share 3 foundational traits that all high performing TKS students have. If you can master these traits, you will crush it in TKS and in life.  If you identified any weak traits you want to train, I highly recommend writing down action items after listening to this episode.
