Read MoreHow Many Times Do You Write Your Goals Each Day?
Every personal leadership book I have ever read tells me to write my goals daily. But let’s get real. How many of us actually write our goals daily? I never wrote down my goals daily in the past.

Read MoreChasing Perfection is a Losing Game
Perfection is an ephemeral quality that a lot of people say they want. The bad news is that they will never have it.
