Watch the Video Experience: https://youtu.be/ohcNR2T1j5Q Episode Overview: The worlds best companies, organizations and institutions typically have inspiring visions, missions, goals and creeds. These ideals and goals are what build culture, and are the secret sauce behind what makes these organizations great. So then, why do we as individuals not create a mission / vision and identify a set of values for our own lives? I do believe that INDIVIDUALS should purposefully ponder and set their own personal vision and goals. True magic happens when you get clear on what you want, get inspired to take action, and surround yourself with the right people that can help you make your vision a reality. By learning how to set and achieve goals, how to build momentum and act with purpose…you truly can achieve more than you ever dreamed of in your business and personal life.
