To get where we want to be and doing what we love to do, most of us try to figure out what we need to do to reach our goal, and it makes sense; it seems fair to assume that there must be an action plan to follow.

After we achieve that, the actions that will take us to the place we want will flow naturally.   Joining us today is Dre Baldwin, a former Professional Basketball Player, Author of 27 books, YouTube Content Creator, Podcaster, TEDx Speaker, and Owner of Work On Your Game Inc.
