Video Highlight:
“How do we make success something that generates energy, that sustains you? We do it by bridging the tangible and intangible goals. We have to have tangible and intangible goals, because true success excites and motivates. It doesn’t deplete or exhaust. So if you feel depleted or exhausted, I promise you there is something missing – either you’re focusing too much on the tangible goals or you’re focusing too much on the intangible goals. You’ve got to have both.”
