Once you’ve recognized the call, the next step is to actually answer it. This is the moment when you make the decision to embark on your journey, to become a Legacy Forger.
Answering the call requires courage and commitment. It’s not an easy decision to make. You’ll need to step out of your comfort zone, face your fears, and embrace the unknown. But every epic journey begins with a single step. And with each step you take, you’ll grow stronger, wiser, and more capable.
Here are some strategies to help you answer the call:
