Life is too short to do everything, too valuable to do nothing, and too important to do just anything. Instead, choose to do something meaningful with your life. Be mindful and intentional.

If you don't believe your ability to think clearly and get things done isn't impacted by your environment, think again. Chaos begets chaos. Here is what you need to know:

Here is a hard fact that stops most people from delegating effectively. It slows you down before it speeds you up. Delegation is creating clarity, setting expectations, giving feedback, and getting out of the way. The process takes time, but the benefits are worth it.

Had a great conversation with Jeff. I’m barely on socials anymore, but willing to step back in, if only to say, always a pleasure reconnecting.

An absolute honor to be associated with this show and of course with Michelle Frechette. Can't wait to see what else me might be able to brew together. 🙂

That’s awesome and liberating. To all the other business owners, demonstrate that for your team and give them that same freedom. The freedom to make and learn from your mistakes is powerful.

Watching everyone post their #CaboPress recaps reminds me how powerful that atmosphere is. Especially being around those people. I had to miss this year and have hated it. Hopefully I’ll see you all next year. Safe travels home.

As we enter 2025, full-steam ahead, what actions or systems are you putting in place to ensure it’s as successful as possible?
