A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals
Feeling stuck in your career? Unfulfilled? As if you’re in the wrong place and not using your talents in the best way?
Have you ever thought of changing career but was suddenly swept over by a wave of guilt and despair? How could I ever change at this point? Wouldn’t that make me appear weak and indecisive?
Think again!
You still have time.
You can still change.
Better yet, you are allowed to change.
