Your life is begging for this…NOW

Everyone has dreams. Everyone has at least a vague vision for their

He Changed – After You Showed Interest

She Changed – After You Showed Interest

One of the ways I know I need to write on a topic is when I suddenly start getting questions around a theme or issue…and this is one of them. Furthermore, I felt urgency about this one because:

b) Men typically are not typically wired to reach out for help from other men especially on matters of the heart.

“If it is really worth fighting to change that thing this year,
it should really be worth maintaining that change every year.”

I have spent the last 7 years eager to help people get the paradigm shift that will move them harder and faster towards their goals in life.
This year is a little different. I am not just eager. I am kinda desperate.

And as I have thought about this more and more, I have come to a major conclusion that the rest of this post will be about. Here it is:
