Summary

In Part 2 of the Control Series, we explore what's at the root of all those truly in control.....Self-Reliance.

Self Reliance is the willingness, ability and need, to do things on your OWN. It's the commitment to take full responsibility of your environment, goals, and results. It's difficult to do, and many choose to not to go this route.
