TakeTheNextBigStep.comGreetings my friend.

I skipped my post earlier today because I spent the day doing a regroup.  I got confused and distracted about something.  Maybe you can relate.

I was asking myself the question, “How can I get you to care about what I think is important?”

SILLY QUESTION.

I CAN’T get you to do anything of the sort, right?  I can only tell you who I am, where I’ve been and where I’m going.  If who I am, where I’ve been and where I’m going resonates with you, you might choose to join me on the journey of a lifetime!

If you aren’t at least a little Continue reading The Question and the Vission →

I was asked a question today that I need to answer.  My thoughts might be fun for you to reflect on also.  The question, “What do you and your family love to do when you’re not working?”

Exactly one year ago… Continue reading The Nightcap Part 1 – Celebration →

Kicking you when you’re down

Have you ever received a note from someone that was designed to put you down, to set you straight and to make you do something the writer thinks will make everything better? It is fascinating to understand how much some people try to control us and our decisions when we can step back and examine the situation, instead of getting caught up in the emotions as the writer intended. Perhaps your family tries to control what you do and use comments that are critical and hurtful. Since they can’t accept what you stand for or Continue reading Kicking you when you’re down →
