Strategically Selfish: Is it ever okay to do something for yourself?

Let’s face it - being called selfish is usually a bad thing. Yet being selfish at the right point in time can actually be good - it can even help you make an amazing impact in OTHER people’s lives.

In other words: You get to serve those you love (including yourself) by being selfish at the right moment. You’ll find out when those right moments are in this episode of Brilliant Balance.
