On this episode of The Ty Brady Way, Ty explains the phrase ‘You have to want it as bad as you want oxygen’. Ty expresses how anything you do in life needs a vision and then a plan. Ty shares how once you know what it is you want, whether that be financial freedom or retiring at 40, make a plan on how you think you can achieve that and once you figure out each of the steps of your plan, those steps will become habits, rituals and routines and if you’re committed and consistent with your plan, you will find success. Ty states that your dream needs to be your why and if you don’t want your dream as much as you want oxygen, then dream bigger. Ty provides his best advice on how you can begin mapping out how to achieve your goals and also shares how he has achieved some of his goals through the same process.   As always, we would like to hear from you!
