EP #14 Cultivating opportunities from Crisis - Co-founder of Better You Academy Roland Tokko

This will be a very first English Podcast for Roland Tokko, who is a successful entrepreneur, musician and writer from Estonia. A man who has shared stages with Eric Edmeades, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Jack Canfield, Robert Kiyosaki, Ken Honda, Janet Attwood and many others moves mountains and connects people around the globe with the global mission to bring more consciousness and opportunities for those you are ready to grow and expand while using their potential!

We talk about resetting yourself, what is the simple abundance formula, why and how you can cooperate better, how to delegate better no matter if you are just starting off your business or have been in it for a while. We also touched the topics of relationships and why are relationships so important? What can gratitude help us with? 

The biggest golden insight from Roland:  "Ask yourself what would you love to have and achieve? Who can help you? How can you help that person or organization?"
