It isn’t often that I’m aware of someone long before that person becomes famous. Apart from Adam Sandler and I don’t know who else, there just aren’t many people who hit it big from New Hampshire. The lack of famous athletes drives the point home. I had to chuckle when, […]
How do you empower yourself? I think the question really is, how do you keep from disempowering yourself? How do you make the choice not to impose self-limitations by thinking, I can’t do this. I can’t do that? Why not make the choice to be the very best at what […]
