Dr. Joe Capista presents A Mentor Can Change Your Life posted at Success Triangle, saying, “Building a successful business does not happen overnight. It can take years to reach the point where you achieve what you want. One of the main reasons people donât achieve what they want is they are not specific enough. Another is that they make a half-hearted attempt at setting goals. They may think about what they want and call that goal setting. The fact is thinking about what you want is only part of the process. There is so much more.”
