I am doing double-duty today and rolling my Tuesday Tips email and Thursday podcast episode into one. I am tired and ready for a break! New Tuesday Tips will be resuming on January 5th and new podcast episodes will resume on January 7th. [buzzsprout episode='6926618' player='true'] Thank...
[buzzsprout episode='6894413' player='true'] One important component in getting what you want in life is to focus on what you want rather than dwelling on what you don't want. Sounds so simple and easy...
In the last podcast episode, I read a quote from Matthew Jones' article on Inc.com: "11 Billion Reasons The Self Help Industry Doesn't Want You To Know The Truth About Happiness." I received several DMs of, "C'mon. Is that really true? Doesn't everyone ultimately want to be happy?" Well,...
