#INFORTHEKILL with Ruben Alvarez

There are certain things and ideas your mind thinks up whenever you are fearful of something. It is not always jumping out of a plane or swimming with sharks either. It can be going to the gym, waking up earlier or making a sales call. Right when you are about to do it, you get the thought that contradicts you taking action.
