Clarity first: knowing what you want

He explains how he believes clarity of purpose turns goals into reality, and returns with his formula for wealth and purpose. Andy Stumpf knew at the age of 11 that he wanted to become a Navy SEAL, and he describes how that one goal became the driving force in his life.
