How to Create a Mind Map of Desire to Guide Your Life [Video]

Sunny Lam — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 13:00:06 +0000

Lots of friends come to me and ask for advice on career directions. One of the first things I ask them is, "What do you want out of life?" Surprisingly very few of them can give me a straight answer because they never really thought of it -- even in these trying times.

Nothing can help you if you are clueless about what you want -- whether its job hunting or creating your own business or organization.
