This week marks my 100th blog article of all time. I started blogging when my website launched while I was in Laguna Beach, Southern California, on the 1st June, 2015. I committed to delivering one blog a week to my email subscribers and to my amazement, I haven’t missed one...
All the world’s most productive and successful people conduct reviews. It is an essential activity for any highly performing person or team. Without conducting reviews, you are destined to repeat mistakes and fail to reach your potential.

You may or may not remember that earlier this year I set a goal of saving $100,000. Recently, I was asked how I went with that goal and if I achieved it. As this is the final blog article for the year, I wanted to let you know how I went.

Getting stressed is a part of life. It’s a common emotion in today’s day and age and a healthy one from an evolutionary standpoint. Getting highly stressed over an extended period of time however, can have dire consequences. Managing stress and reducing it efficiently and effective...
If you could spend less than one hour a day for five days to completely change the course of your life, and set yourself up for your best year ever, would you?
