You’re Only As Good As The People Around You
Remember your parents telling you this? I do. I never understood it then. Why would they make a big deal about the people I hung around with? They saw something negative in my friends that I didn't. ''You will be just like the people you hang around with!'' They way we see this now as adults: If you want to be confident, surround yourself with confident people....

The Shackles of Being a Business Owner and How to Get Free!
Vacation? What's that? Day off? Never! Leave town for a business trip? Let the panic being? Most entrepreneurs live, breathe, and and sometimes suffer at the hands of their business. Having their hands so entrenched in the day-to-day operations of their company that it seems utterly impossible to let go for a second. Overtime you have created a monster.

You Won’t Start TOMORROW….LIAR!!
We have ALL said this at some point in our life... "I'll start tomorrow..." What a big ass LIE!! No one that thinks like that actually does it... Because if they were REALLY going to do it...
