We try to fight back but our opponent is relentless, tough, and intimidating. Are you tired of living life day to day, letting your circumstances win, while you fight just to get by?

Mike re-discovers that there are seven traits he must master in order to live the life he is capable of living. As Mike's heart changes so does his will to win as a husband, a father, a businessman, and a leader.
