It will help you make changes in your life, the kind of changes bring you closer to what you were BORN to do. Chris offers three words to live by: Joy, Money, and Flow. In today’s episode, he explains what each of them means, how they can guide you through everyday AND life-changing decisions, and how to know when you’ve discovered what you were born to do. If you feeling the crushing weight of dissatisfaction and don’t know why, then you really need to check out today’s Business Reimagined. KEY POINTS: At 2:00 – Chris explains that it’s okay to give up on something, as long as you consider two simple questions.
