(3:50) Type 3 here! There was a discussion today in the type 3 group about how type 3s go big and then get sick of things and lose interest. I know Carol has mentioned this before as well. My question is what are some tips to keeping your interests up especially in work or business? I tend to go big and think…” this can be my life purpose job”..and then get sick of it quickly. So I’d love some tips to keep focus and still like things for longer periods of time. I’ve watched videos as related as I can to this topic but still can’t seem to make it click or reign myself in.
