1-hour LIVE Webinar / FREE
Monday September 28, 4:00 pm (ET) / 1:00 (PT)
Without a sense of purpose, even though we may possess everything else, our lives begin a slow decline. As children we may have desired to be a doctor, fireman, scientists, banker, teacher, etc. These things are what we want to be, BUT purpose is what you will do.
How will you understand purpose, and when will you stand in your purpose? Understanding who, what, when and how, will assist you in your journey of purpose.
