Paving The Way

EP 179 - Be Thankful For The Past, Present, and FutureAs 2025 is winding down, growing business leaders can sometimes get lost in the thoughts of where they aren't at yet as opposed to finding gratitude for where they are.I can relate to this as I have had to learn to find gratitude in the past struggles, the present challenges, and the future opportunities I am preparing for. If you or someone you know can relate to this message, let me know how you have learned to find gratitude in the challenges!

EP 178 - Business Has No RulesIn the 15+ years I have been in business, I have learned that there are little to no "rules" when it comes to business. From how your competitors compete, to having no road map or "right" plan to follow, and eventually learning that a successful business has no actual "finish line", the game of business isn't one to take lightly. For those that are just getting in - here's a peek behind the curtain of what you are signing up for. For those that have been around for a while - you can relate to most everything I cover.
