Episode 15- You Will Always miss 100% of the Shots You Don't Take

Sometimes as cops, we become accustomed to asking for permission before taking action, and oftentimes, this spills over into our personal lives and leaves us in a state of never-ending limbo.  Instead of just taking initiative and going after the things we want, we wait for permission, we wait for someone else to fix things, or we just don't take the shot to jump in and do something for whatever reason.  To have success in life, this mentality needs to change.  It's time to stop asking for permission and start taking ownership of your life.
