My brother Michael quit his job last year to pursue a dream. The fantastic part is it was his dream. B&M Entertainment, the business he co-owns with our brother Brighton, is hosting a party this weekend. The DO is sponsored by Jack Daniels. I’m not a fan of booze but I am a fan of…
Sometimes when I coach individuals I find that even before the training begins we have to work at deleting some very destructive self-perceptions. It’s interesting that many of these destructive self-perceptions are rooted in childhood. Success in business has a lot to do with self-confidence. I thought to share this fantastic piece on how you…
