In this episode I sat down to walk through The DaVinci Blueprint, a life Architecture document.
The most common question I receive regularly is along the lines of 'How do I find my purpose?'. Without being able to coach every single person 1:1, I wanted to create a resource for people to start that process on their own. This document is a distillation of my 12-week self-mastery program (found in my community) In this episode I discuss:
- Assessing who you are and want to become
- Uncovering your unique advantages and position of unfair leverage
- Defining the vision for your life
- The power of God and the subconscious mind
... and more
