Think of it as a call to stop blaming others, fate or the stars for your lack of results.

In this episode, I will talk about what i call the 4S requirements that allow oneself to kick off, sustain and enjoy the journey to growth.

I believe those can apply to either self development, relationships but also your career at work. I am even tempted to say to anything you are trying to improve in life.

I would define the 4S as the Formula for growth. When i think about any kind of areas where anyone has demonstrated success, they somehow used the 4S.
