And there's no better preparation than to have a clear winning strategy in place.In today's episode, I want to share with you the inspiring story of Moses in Exodus 17, particularly how he and his people overcame the battle-trained Amalekites while they were on their way to the promised land - with zero combat experience whatsoever. In this story, I will break down the three elements of a winning strategy, and how you can take a leaf out of Moses' playbook, and use it to overcome life's challenges in pursuit of your goals.Order Dream, Build, Repeat: Harness Fear to Confidently Pursue Your Biggest Dream - AmazonFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/casey.sharpersonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/caseycarea/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/CaseySharpersonWebsite: www.CaseySharperson.comEmail: Hello@CaseySharperson.com
