The “Next Level”

Recently, people have been coming to me and have displayed reservations on taking their lives to the “Next Level” with respect to their employment.

It’s never a waste of time…

Or energy, when we choose to grow. Growth always needs something, and when it comes to us…our best investment for growth is our time and energy.

You are Royalty!

And for the the thousands that have come through my office and have taken a seat in the “Throne”, we all have pictures to prove it. So what have you done lately…to treat yourself like Royalty? Take a long nap? Take a trip? Have a Royal meal? We need to reward ourselves since we are… Read more »

What’s your “ripple effect”?

And we’re no talking the ripple effect on water…but it contains the same concept.
