Learn the power of the 80/20 rule – 80% of your focus is working towards your primary passion and 20% is spend exploring the other passions.

- Aircraft Carrier Stennis refuels once every 26 years due to a neuclear reactor

- Vision is needed to fuel your passion

- What is a well-defined vision and how do we find it? - Vision is a powerful picture of the future which creates an ideal and unique image of what your life will become or achieve. It provides the reason for your existence. It defines your reason WHY and is the “North Star” that every action you are guided by.

- When you don't have vision, our inner most being begins to waste away.
