Build Change Into Your Workday
I try to mix things up and change the routes I drive, places I work, people I meet and even houses I live in. Constantly experimenting and finding what is possible or what may work keeps a certain freshness to how I can approach work or do deals. There’s a lot of value in havingContinue reading “Build Change Into Your Workday”
Expand Your Choices With This Mindset
I sold everything off and hit the road exploring the United States with my wife and 3 kids.

LifeContinue reading “Expand Your Choices With This Mindset”

Some things are readily interpretedContinue reading “Procrastination Might Be Telling You Something”
