My guest today is Jay Fiset. Jay is the founder of Mastermind to Millions and author of the bestselling book Reframe Your Blame, which he’ll give listeners for free in this episode! Many of us go through life feeling like we’re victims of circumstance and have no control over our world. This feeling of victimization is as natural as breathing, but that doesn’t mean it’s a positive force in our lives. Instead, living a fulfilled life comes from a place of accountability and responsibility. Jay and I go into depth about reframing your blame, the importance of accountability, why it’s so vital to surround yourself with the right people, and how to do so.
