The Power of Presence
If you're a parent, you have no doubt experienced a moment or two when you wonder if you're doing the best job you possibly can. I actually believe that's a good thing, because, the way I see it, if you're actually concerned about the job you're doing, that means you care. And if you care, that's a great place to start. I think the best parents are just like the best people in any other endeavor in life. Always searching for new and better ways to do things, reading up on tips, asking questions, setting goals. A serious and [...]

Whatever You Do…Don’t Do This!
I have been fortunate enough to talk with many successful people in my life so far and I have had the chance to ask them how they achieved the biggest goals in their own lives.
