The 7 choices to ignite a radically inspired life

John O’Leary asks the question: What would your impact and output look like if you lived a radically inspired life, every single day? Living radically inspired means you learn from past mistakes, rise above challenges and thrive — no matter the circumstances. It means, you choose how inflection points (moments in time that change everything that follows) affect you. Start owning your wins and failures to truly celebrate your outcomes. Learn how to adopt a victor-mindset to instill accountability in yourself and your team, and achieve unbridled success. Your choices can transform your life and business.
