You’ve heard it before, “just do what you’re passionate about and everything will fall into place.” I disagree. Although passion is important, if it’s not combined with the two factors that I get into in this episode you’ll be spinning your wheels never really finding what you love to do on a daily basis; which will transfer into every area of your life.

If you find yourself asking the following questions, this podcast is for you:

Why can’t I stick to a workout program?
Why do I keep changing jobs and never feeling like I’m getting close to finding “the one”?
Why are my relationships short and unfulfilled?
