Yes, some of these might offend you, but as Bill declares, we need to start from where we are so we can make headway to the goal – and the goal should always be “going pro.”

Mark down for each one where you are on the spectrum. Then, right in front of you is a map to get where you want to go.

I had the pleasure of working with a young man a while back who was one of THE most ambitious people I’ve met. He took virtually every coaching point I gave him.

I, of course, suggested he switch. On this episode of The 2X Podcast, I’ll share his story.
