The following are some really great articles I stumbed across over the past few weeks about talk about giving up the “mundane” and just giving your dreams a real and proper go.
First up, a gentleman named Jack Delosa has been a long-time mentor of mine and I was happy to see him in the news not so long ago:
He brings up so many good points that parallel very closely to my overall Zero to a Million strategy… especially around that of freeing up your time and mentality to focusing on your dreams.
