Three Requirements for Permanent Financial Success
I describe two ways to look at using your current resources or advantages you have to pivot your personal life, your business, or both.

However, history shows in most cases you cannot successfully use just one to get all three. Highlights Balancing life’s spinning plates. Periodic focus on different life priorities. Acknowledging the need for focus in business. Announcement of future in-person events. Key resources in life: time, money, skills. Darren Hardy’s point on resource management.

Finding Peace during Turmoil - The Dog that Doesn't Bark
Challenges are inevitable in life. We know not when or how often they will come, nor how they will turn out, but remembering that Challenges and Opportunities are the same thing, separated only by how you respond is one of the keys to continuing to thrive in the face of unexpected change. I'm going through a substantial and unexpected business change right now and was reminded of many of the tools I've learned to navigate these times. Since my primary audience is business owners seeking resiliency and Agency, it is fitting that I pass along these observations and recommendations for when you next find yourself in a similar place. Highlights Peace during turmoil focus. Chinese Farmer story introduction. Neighbors’ perception and ”Maybe” response. Conscription officers and son’s broken leg. Consequences of misfortune or good fortune. The importance of maintaining peace. Alfred Hitchcock’s “Dog That Didn’t Bark.” Importance of resilience and being prepared. Importance of maintaining liquidity and resources. Turn challenges into opportunities. Coaching and gratitude praying. Remaining calm and growing from experiences.
