-Chip Lutz
How's your year going so far? We're not very far in and I'm hoping that you're off to a great start.
This time of year always makes me stop and take stock of where I am versus where I think I should be. Both personally and professionally. Many times in my 50 years on this earth when I don't think I am where I think I should be I wonder why? Most often than naught, it's because I've held myself back. I've told myself certain things that have kept me from progressing.
This episode's guest throws a trump card on that crap. Her name is Karen Brown and her mission is helping people get rid of those limiting beliefs so they can be who they were meant to be and achieve what their destiny demands.
I really enjoyed this interview (like I do nearly all) and I know you will too! Let's get this year into gear! CHEERS!
