It’s your time, really – 2013 is YOUR year. To dream big, and accomplish even bigger. It’s time to stop standing on the sidelines, punching a clock, being… mediocre. It’s time to figure out why you haven’t gotten your “well-deserved” promotion yet, and actually GET PROMOTED. Every single day…
In years past, I did a personal reflection of the year using a template from a few online friends. But this year, I want to focus on one specific theme from 2012 and also fill you in on my goal progress (from my mid-year check-in). 2012 Was All About Persistence…
If you’ve been hanging around here long enough, you know that I am an avid fan and inaugural alumni of an ecourse called Make Sh*t Happen. I completed the ten week course more than a year ago, and I can honestly tell you it was one of the best investments I have…
