Then we'll go to part two of our workshop, which is goals strategy.

It really sets you in the right direction and helps you accomplish whatever goals you seek to finish. I like to introduce you to a man named Jim Rohn.

And he's one of my favorite guys. He's really an inspirational man. He's an American entrepreneur, author, motivational speaker, he's really helped a lot of famous people that you might have heard of become who they are today. And unfortunately, he passed away in 2009. He has an interesting quote that I found inspirational. And it really has a lot to do with today's lesson.

And it goes like this. You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight. And that's what we're going to do.
