You know, iteration is perfection. Stagnation is death. I talk about that in Disruptor all the time. When you stagnate is when you die. It's when you're literally in a box, you're dead. That's because you stop moving. It's really about moving and moving and moving again.-." – Miki Agrawal To stay connected and to learn more about Vishen and Mindvalley, click on the links below: Website: Mindvalley.com YouTube: @vishenlakhiani Instagram: @mindvalley Instagram: @vishen Facebook: @mindvalley Subscribe to 'Mindvalley Membership' to discover 65+ transformational Mindvalley programs – at a surprisingly low annual fee here 👉 https://go.mindvalley.com/NOW Learn more about your ad choices.

0:45.0	And yesterday I met a wonderful woman who told me that after five years of being in the same career,
0:50.0	she's looking for something that truly lights her up.
