Tons of people envy you. Your accomplishments stack up like a Jenga tower. Weekly, monthly, yearly,\u00a0you cross off dreams and goals from your list \u2013 astounding yourself and others. Yet, there\u2019s constant, gnawing sense that something was missing. So you rev up your, time for change engines, time for a transformative year to make shit happen. And then, a friend says, \u201cHere\u2019s the thing, whatever you do on the outside won\u2019t change what\u2019s missing inside.\u201d Suddenly, you realize that real transformation is about to happen.\r\nFor Jeff Goins, best selling author, with a raving fan list most people would salivate over, it was a shocking truth that he woke up to earlier this year that he felt incomplete.
