Show Notes for Level Up Your Day

Thanks for purchasing the audio version of Level Up Your Day: How to Maximize the 6 Essential Areas of Your Daily Routine!

I know what it’s like to listen to audio content. You hear an important link, but can’t immediately write it down. So I’ve put together these show notes of every link that’s mentioned in Level Up Your Day.

IMPORTANT: As another way of saying “thanks,” I’m offering a free PDF version of this book. Just forward your Audible receipt to [email protected] and I'll hook you up with a copy.
