Feature Presentation: “Breaking Through Your Upper Limits: A Conversation with Cliff Ravenscraft”
We all have a thermostat in our lives that regulates how we feel with the amount of financial success, relationship success, and also business success that we have in our lives. In a very real sense, that thermostat has put a ceiling on how much greatness you allow in your life.
Imagine for a moment that there was no ceiling…what would that make possible in your life?
That’s exactly what we’re going to discuss in this episode. But first, as some of you may know, Sean and I recently bought a local artisan coffeehouse here in Spokane, and we thought you might enjoy a little insight as to why we did that. Enjoy!
