Beyond Vision and Purpose

Having vision and purpose isn't enough, you must take action. The four roadblocks people often unknowingly or knowingly run into cause entropy. Your mind is the biggest cause of your inaction. What if one of the clues to discovering the keys to untapping your mind's strengths lay in a greater sense of self? Turning your thoughts into reality requires self-awareness.

The top ten signs that you lack awareness may surprise you, but once addressed, mastered, and understood will positively affect your outcomes, outlook, and life.
