Just one little step No matter how far we get knocked off track, no matter how much momentum we’ve lost, no matter how disengaged we’ve become, no matter when or where we dropped the ball . . . All it takes is one little step to re-engage, to start the ball rolling again. Much Love, […]
Discomfort = the price of your ticket

Discomfort = the price of your ticket Average performers run away from discomfort. Above average performers take action in the face of discomfort. So, for most people, the work to be done is to start to embrace discomfort – to start to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. If mediocrity is the goal then we don’t […]
