E3S7: The African Peacebuilder with Ukpeme Akpan Okon

Having peace of mind when making a decision allows you to not say yes to opportunities that are not in the best interest of your business. It starts with the intentions that you set each morning. Ukpeme even made the suggestion that you start with the affirmation "I am peace" In today's episode, Ukpeme shared things that would allow you to be intentional about your peace and creating more peace in your journey. Look at the possibilities that are all around you and step into it because that will add to your peace. It also allows you to be in the moment for your business, family and yourself.
