What You Spend Your Time Doing Literally Defines Who You Are
I would like you to take a moment and answer this very important, though perhaps shocking, question: “What age will you be when you die?” The truth is, most people don’t ever really think about how long they’re going to live, but when asked the question, they usually have a very specific age in mind. “What if I told you I could help you find more time to enjoy the finer things in life? …without turning your life upside-down. Wouldn’t you jump at the opportunity?”In fact, quite some time ago, when I was presented with this same question, I was… Read more »
The Truth About Body Image
Have you ever considered how much your body image – your personal packaging, contributes to your business and personal success?

How to Stay Motivated and Stick to Your Goals
I would like to start by sharing a small excerpt from an incredibly riveting book, which reveals how powerful the human spirit is, even when opposed by extreme elements. This quote, which illustrates how intense desire can help us forge through unbelievable obstacles, comes from Into Thin Air… When Jon Krakauer reached the summit of Mt. Everest in the early afternoon of May 10, 1996, he hadn’t slept in fifty-seven hours and was reeling from the brain-altering effects of oxygen depletion. As he turned to begin his long, dangerous descent from 29,028 feet, twenty other climbers were still pushing doggedly… Read more »
