Why Do You Do What You Do?

Why Do You Do What You Do?

Every quarter I take time out of my business to talk to my team about their values. For a business owner, that time is a serious investment. Pulling everyone away from their job is not something I take lightly. I do it because it’s valuable. Why is it valuable? One of the ways I know […]

Your Role Models are Sabotaging Your Success

If you had a million dollars, what would you do with it? Would you invest it into your business? Buy a nice house for your family? Show it off with a fancy car? You’re going to hear a couple of voices pop up. The first voice will say “Oh, cool. Maybe I can finally take […]

Your Feelings Mean Nothing

Your Feelings Mean Nothing
