Quick Hit: Small Business Success
Small business success is enjoyed by people who have the right knowledge and the right set of tools.
The fact is that most (70%) of small business owners will work themselves to death and never break out of Stage-1 Subsistence.

Everyone knows the story of old King Midas who wanted everything he touched to be turned to gold.
Most see the moral as the downside of greed, but I see it more as the ‘law of unintended consequences’ at play.

The Passion Habit: First Ask WHY?
Passion is one of those words that people use often without really understanding the original meaning of the word.
When most people refer to “passion”, they use it to mean strong emotions reflecting an intense desire or boundless enthusiasm.
That’s a good start.

Life is not an endurance test… or a problem to be solved.
Life is an adventure of challenges, hopes, and dreams to be lived to the max.
It doesn’t take years to find the life you love, it takes just a few hours.

A life filled with passion and purpose?
A life of compassion and hope?
To thrive with style?!
Of course it is!
