Yield of Dreams - Paychecks for lIfe

This show asks the questions, “What does it take to pursue your life’s passion, to do what you truly love? and “why do so many people sell out their dreams and aspirations for a job they hate and a paycheck that is less than fulfilling?” Charlie will hold up in the light your “myths about money,” not to try to change them, but to illuminate them, to have you begin to discern where they came from, how they impact your life and the decisions you’ve made, and to see if you’d be willing to let them go them and replace them with a new money strategy that will produce a result and ease your pain and suffering about money.
