Here's my step by step guide on how to hire a Virtual Assistant in the next 3 days.

And I've taught mental toughness to our countries next generation of leaders at West Point.

Selfless drive: We want passionate collaborators, people who are dedicated to improving the health and happiness of the world. Courageous hearts: We want compassionate people who make the workplace a training ground for personal growth and transformation...

"Try not to bash into the walls too much..try to have a nice family..have fun...save a little money---That’s a very limited life." "Life can be much broader, once you discover one simple fact, and that is that everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use."
