Have you ever really considered, “Am I made of the stuff to achieve really great things? Are my dreams realistic?” It turns out, there is quite a difference between how famous, quite accomplished people consider motivation and goals and the way everyday people do. The good news? We can learn something from these stellar humans and apply it to create more of the life we really want for ourselves. In this conversation, we talk with the ever curious author Jeff Haden to hear what he’s learned by studying famous people – and how they structure their lives that can make a sweeping difference to our own.
