How To Make 2021 Your Best Year Yet (ep. 326)

Are you hoping to be rich in significance + success in 2021? Who isn't, right? My friend, this episode is for you.

Over three years ago I started my membership community, Live Inspired IN STUDIO -  community of like-minded friends who join me monthly via webcast to do life together + make the world better, starting with our own.

This month's discussion topic is so relevant, impactful + life-giving that I needed to make sure everyone has access to it! 

Today we walk through a step-by-step process (created by my friend + past Live Inspired Podcast guest Jinny Ditzler) that I have completed at the beginning of every year for more than a decade.

You'll leave this episode with clear priorities and commitments to achieve significance + success in all aspects of your life this year.
