Scott Maderer: Unlock the Golden Handcuffs

Do we have the power to unlock the golden handcuffs holding us back from whom we want to be in life? Scott Maderer's message is that we do. Everyone has time, talent, and treasures, but how we allocate these will determine whether we can fulfill our why and reach our goals. Oftentimes, we may feel that the lack of time, talent, and treasures are the restricting factors, but have we asked whether it is a "you" problem i.e. how we steward what we have? Scott has issued the challenge to take a closer look and learn how you can live the life you truly want. Tune in to learn more.
