Be Stack your activities. Diversify your investments. Compound your relationships. Multiply your money. Doing one thing well is great. This is how you begin. But only doing one thing well while never developing more skill sets is a recipe for disaster. You have to grow. You have to stretch. You have to keep opening yourself…

Be I heard when I was a kid that if you Fail to Plan, you’re Planning to Fail. The older I get, the more I realize how true that old adage is. The opportunity for us to plan the actions that become the habits that help us achieve our goals is with us every day…

Be Running a race isn’t only about endurance. It’s about finishing well. Giving it everything you’ve got until the very end. Run to win. Don’t pull of the gas…step on it.

You’re afraid to take…

We don’t “need” anybody’s help, but really…we do. We say we don’t need attention, but our spirits & souls need to be…

Be It’s complicated. Your relationship with money. It’s complicated, isn’t it? If you’re like most people, you weren’t taught how to handle your finances, except that one time you took a class in school called “Personal Finance”. Do you remember it? I didn’t think so.
