Sometimes we have to help people find what they’re passionate about. It only took one person for me to completely change the direction of my life.
I don’t like to go to “What If” land, but what if they never took that chance? Where would I have ended up?
We can’t continue to look at people (in life and business) as a lost cause but rather redirect them to something where they can shine.
