I once attended a business seminar & came away remembering this line more than anything else…”A person is motivated by 1 of 2 things – what are they going to get or how can they prevent getting hurt.” The part that really stayed with me was this next line the speaker said; from whatever standpoint… [Read more…]

I’ve got a theory. And it may ruffle your feathers. If it does, all I can say is, “if the shoe fits…” I get the blessing of working with folks who want something better for their life – whether in sport, in daily life, or in both. And while sometimes they get a little off-track,… [Read more…]
