How often do you let fear get in the way of reaching your dreams or up-levelling your business? A practice I have developed, since my days of working with Lou Tice at The Pacific Institute, is to identify some stretch goals in my personal life and then transfer the lessons on over to my business.…
How many times have you committed to something and then backed out? In my opinion, this ‘habit’ is becoming an epidemic. I see it happening all the time – one lame excuse after another – and people ‘bail’ on what they said they would do, be where they said they would be and do what…
