Transformational Leaders can break out of their own comfort zone to pursue something far bigger than themselves. What they’re actually doing is breaking free from fear. You only get clarity of your purpose if you can look beyond fear. You can only realise your vision if you act inspite of fear.
At the end of the day if you do something you love, and truly believe in then that will be the biggest motivator and pulls you through every situation. No matter the odds, no matter the adversity. To achieve remarkable results is to conquer yourself.
