Life is not worth living if we are not fully committed to living it. We only need a ton of backup plans or options if we are not fully invested in our current plans.

Too often are we treating people like they have to wait on our time before we will help them when at the end of the day anything worth doing is to provide a fantastic service. When someone reaches out they need help NOW and they need the assurance that they are a priority NOW not later. If…

The melding of great salesmanship and technology built around what people need rather than what we think we do. Learn from one of the greatest marketing professionals on the planet that…

Because of this it has allowed us to mentor those with more life experience and sky rocket ourselves to places our peers have not been able to go. This is an action packed episode…

It is okay to let them go and move on to the future. At the end of the day the past is the past and dwelling on the past will do nothing for us but cause us misery. We have to start with forgiving ourselves, the people around us and the situation to move on and create the future we want. At the end of the day…
