Making It Work
"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are." A glimpse at people in all different walks of life "Making It Work". Bob Ross Meets Bob the Builder; from happy little accidents to fixing broken things, we reflect on times when "good enough is more than enough". We can't be perfect, but we can be 1% better every day. Whether it's paying off debt, improving your relationships, buying your first house, picking which school to go to, or starting a multi-million dollar business; everyone starts somewhere. Every day we're exposed to experiences (good and bad) which equip us with more knowledge, skills and confidence. The most important step though, is to ACTUALLY take a step. This show aims to help you let go of whatever is holding you back and help you harness the lessons you've learned through your life experiences and the experiences of others.
