Growth Gap Traps

2. The Knowledge Gap (I don't know how to grow) ~ Decide to grow even if you don't know how.
3. The Timing Gap (It's not the right time to begin) ~ There is never a more "right" time to begin than now.
4. The Mistake Gap (I'm afraid of making mistakes) ~ Get over your fear of making mistakes, accept that it's part of the process of growth.
5. The Perfection Gap (I have to find the best way before I start) ~ Starting is the only way to find the best way.

8. The Expectation Gap (I thought it would be easier than this) ~ There is no easy road to any place that is worth going.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
