Happy Anniversary to Us! Today I want to talk about the concept of committing to yourself and saying I DO! Here’s where this video is coming from. Recently my husband and I celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary. It certainly doesn’t seem like it’s been 28 years! Our anniversary has had me doing a lot of … Read more
Today I want to talk about this idea of dialing in and doing your “one thing.” As you know, I’m a business coach, and I coach people all the time on narrowing their focus so they can achieve their goals.
