I guess a Friday is as good as time as any to rally. I have been thinking about my future self a lot lately. That person that is one day from dead. Is that version of me the best possible version of me or did that version of me squander the time he had to…
Category: Success Concepts
These posts will talk about strategies and concepts that push others to be more successful.

A total life disruption like a forced quarantine can do wonders for bearing out our true selves. It acts like a mirror that we can’t look away from. A mirror that sees right through the walls we put up to try and deceive ourselves. There is no hiding when all of our outside activities and…
