Letting Go with Guy Finley

Question: I have long been investigating my personal career goals and see how they contradict what I really love and wish to do. I have been guilty of pursuing money first, but after years of feeling like I haven’t really succeeded (despite aiming for seemingly better circumstances), I see I am no better off financially.…
