903. Visionary vs Dreamer: The Real Difference Nobody Talks About

This episode dives into the gap between dreaming and truly leading. Anyone can dream. A visionary builds, executes, and brings the dream into reality. We talk about how to shift from ideas to action, what separates high-level leaders from wishful thinkers, and how to become the kind of person who makes things happen instead of hoping they happen. Perfect for entrepreneurs ready to step into their next level. LMN Webinar Demo — Saturday, December 13 Go "Under The Hood with Brian's actual LMN account.
