Summary

Chances are you’ve had one or more of the following thoughts about goals: "I don’t know what I want to do," "I have too many goals," or "The goal is too complicated." Do you know what all of these thoughts have in common? They are all just different varieties of fear. In this episode, we’re going to break down that first fear, “I don’t know what I want to do.” Can you boldly declare your wants without justifying them? I don’t know about you, but I’ve spent too much time letting fear dictate my choices. It's time to reclaim control. Join me in this episode to discover how.
