Let’s face it… We’re all playing a high stakes game of one and done. You have exactly one life in which to do everything you’ll ever do. The problem is you think you have time. You don’t. For all the things you might want to experience in life… Time is running out. You never know […]

The orator…Theodore Roosevelt. The message…Find Your Arena. In one of the greatest rhetorical triumphs…Roosevelt draws a proverbial line in the sand between those who get […]
It’s about time someone said it… Tomorrow is not your friend. All you have is today. Right now. That’s all you have. Look, I get it… It’s natural and comforting to want to look towards tomorrow with rose colored glasses. To think that tomorrow will smile on you and bless you with the abundant fruit […]

All of us tell stories about ourselves. Stories define us. And to know someone well is to know her story, the experiences that have shaped her, the trials and turning points that have tested her. When we want someone to know us, we share stories of our childhoods, our families, our school years, our first […]
Every day, month, quarter and year presents you with an identical question… Are you going to finish strong or not? It’s your call to make. Every day. Every month. Every quarter. Every year.
