On this 182nd episode of my MMPT, I will start a 7 week series on all things Mindset, Vision, Goals and Execution Strategy. In Take Flight V4.0, we refer to this as the "Cockpit" of the plane, the section of the plane that controls where you are going and how fast. You do not have a successful life and business, as you define it, unless you understand what I will discuss about "the...

On today's MMPT episode and Module #3 of Take Flight V4.0, I will compare CONSISTENCY in your business to FUEL for an aircraft.

It is at this point of Take Flight V4.0, that I ask for your commitment to implement the proven habits, rit...
