Success is in The Try! Is It?

Have you ever taken the time at the end of your day to evaluate your Effort?  I mean really scrutinize How Hard You Worked?

Most of us don’t. If you do, you will be amazed at what you discover. And, just as importantly, how much you can grow!

Have A TOUGH Conversation | #WinToday S2|E22

Have a TOUGH Conversation

There is so much growth that can come from engaging in difficult conversations.

There is a huge difference between BEING difficult in a conversation and HAVING a difficult conversation.

One ignites growth, the other extinguishes it.

Stay In Your Lane? | #WinToday S2|E20

Stay In Your Lane?
How many of you involve yourself is situations that are not yours to deal with. Why?

Change? | #WinToday S2E19

Change? | #WinToday S2E19

CHANGE?

Why do most of us hate CHANGE?  Because, it does not feel safe or comfortable.

If nothing changes, nothing changes. Start small, identify an area you would like to change and be intentional with your work.

The longest road in the world can be traveled by taking the first step.

Belief: Challenge: Change - Trust YOUR Process #WinToday S2|E16

 Belief: Challenge: Change

Trust YOUR Process

We are told all the time to Trust THE Process. For most of us, myself included, we have NO IDEA what that means. It’s because we don’t know what our process is. We follow someone else’s blueprint instead of creating our own. 

Let’s figure out how to create OUR Process to change our lives. 

Love You All

 Be Brave

All of us, at one time or another, have wanted “it” but FEAR stood in our way.
