JEFF BLUE ON ‘ONE STEP CLOSER’:

“‘One Step Closer’ is an inspirational, true story about achieving your dreams. All dreams are riddled with roadblocks. Otherwise they wouldn’t be dreams. The only way to deal with roadblocks is to set up a map with various alternative routes. The longer route will take you out of the way, but the road will be less crowded. This allows the driver, who is present in mind, to acquire indispensable experience along the journey, preparing you to soar past the competition who took the direct road, straight to the middle, while you create your own road to the top and beyond.” – Jeff Blue
