In your business, leadership, relationships, friendships, and ambitions, you don’t rise to what you believe is possible, you fall to what you believe you’re worthy of. When you change what you believe you’re worthy of, you change your entire life. In simple steps with life-changing results, WORTHY teaches you how. I wrote WORTHY for YOU if you have some self-doubt to destroy and a destiny to fulfill!” –Jamie Kern Lima —— Wish you could bring Bob home with you to be your personal mentor and guide?
