About this episode

This episode discusses how to overcome barriers and challenges that people face in pursuing their goals.

Have you ever been told something you wanted to do was impossible?Maybe someone told you that you weren’t qualified. Maybe they told you that you didn’t have the education, the money, the connections, or the experience. Or perhaps the message was even more personal: you’re just not good enough.Most of us have heard those words in one form or another.The question is not whether barriers will appear in our lives. They will. The real question is this: what do we do when we encounter them?
