Happiness, Money, and Relationships. What does it all mean?


Money, we need it, but does it make you happy? Dr. Costes shares his story, and how the moment he realized that he had a million dollars in the bank and had net a million dollars in a year, was the most unhappy he had ever been. We talk freedom mapping, goal setting that counts, and pulling it all together to realize your ideal lifestyle. 

Goals are incredibly motivating, and important to pull you through the rough times. However, do you have a big why? A goal that can never be checked off, thus continually pulls you to bigger and greater heights.
