Or more to the point, they wanted to know what I could do for them. One of them outright asked me, "How can you change my life." I answered them with statement that shocked them at first. I answered by telling them what I could NOT do for them. I told them, "I can't change your life and I can't give you the answers." You should have seen the raised eyebrows and open mouth.

LET'S GET STARTED… Main Message: Hello my fellow heroes, and welcome to episode 44. This week's episode is going to be a review of Terri Savelle Foy's book, "Dream It. Pin It. Live It." A book about how to make vision boards work for you. We've talked about visions boards a few times on this show in the past. The response to those shows really drove home the fact that people are intrigued by the idea of a vision board but they are unsure how to create one and why it's so important to their success. This book answers those questions. I've often said in this podcast and in my blog posts that if you are going to find success in your life you have to be clear on what you want.
