Lets Be Honest Before We Start Pretending

Do you know what the $1,000,000.00 question is? How, and then fill in the blank.  Seriously it is a question that gets asked over and over.  Think about it, we see someone who has lost a bunch of weight and the first thing we ask? “How did you do it?” Here’s what I know the how is way less compelling than why they did it. Why “aka” purpose gets to the core of why it is important to you a...

They begin the goal-setting process because they encourage you to dream big. These big dreams are important...

I can’t believe it is Christmas time, Merry Christmas.  I also want to say Happy Hanukkah as many just celebrated Hanukkah, and a Happy Kwanzaa that is coming up.
