I love evolving and stepping into the next level. But that next level has to be in alignment with who you are, your values, and your vision. Defining your "enough" and y...

At the time, I thought I had reached the pinnacle of my career. But, my mentor saw something I didn't. When it comes to achieving success, there's a big difference between playing small and playing to win . Resting on past achiev...

I am sick of all the entrepreneurs and the gurus and the experts out there who are touting this idea of more money. More money for money's sake doesn't mean squat. Because I know way too many, well-meaning entrepreneurs who grew their businesses and scaled their businesses the wrong way. They had plenty of money coming in, but because of the way they structured and built their business, they had more money going out because their business required more team, more salary, and more resources. So t...
