Thoughts on Having a Life Purpose & What To Do When You Feel Like You Don’t Have One

Tune in to hear my thoughts on the matter. I’d love to hear your thoughts too. Feel free to hit me up on Twitter or Instagram.

During this minisode, you’ll learn a few ways in how you can become more persistent in your life — and watch it pay off.
