I cried three separate times in a 24-hour period last week. About three separate issues. Related to three separate people. Snotty, hands-over-the-face, melt downs. Anytime someone asked how I was at the beginning of a call or meeting, I responded with a half-smile, “Hanging in there.” But what I really meant was…I’m barely getting by. The physical well-being of so...

You’ll experience a million transition points in your life. Some will be amazing celebrations that usher you into the stage you’ve been dreaming of.

The last five years of business ownership were more an outcome of the dream, than the dream itself. I sure didn’t plan this path, so you can probably imagine I...
