Uncategorized When you live in the past it hinders you from moving forward! A quote form Jeff Olson (The slight edge) "It seems most people live with one foot in the past, saying "Only if things had been different, I would be successful."

Business today Showing up on time and being consistent are the keys to success in everything you do! I am re-reading a book called the Slight Edge by Jeff Olson. Great book.
