Dan Berkovitz is a visionary. He sees the possibilities and works to make them a reality. A compelling vision can be enough leverage to push through fear, doubt, and disbelief.

They are there to stop the other people.” Life is a series of challenges that...

If there is something that you want, if you started late in life, if you’re not sure what you want, if you need a change, if you want something and people say it’s out of your reach, the only guaranteed way to get it, is by making a commitment to take massive action.
