Happy Half-Year End!
Hi everyone!
What Do People Want?
What is the number 1 thing in the world everyone wants? Can you answer that? What does everyone want so desperately? I believe that the answer, quite simply, is: MORE.
- They want more success at work.
- They want more happiness in life.
- They want more passion in their relationships.
- They want more money.
- More energy.
- More productivity.
- More meaning.
Everyone wants more of the good things that life has to offer, right? Well, to get more, we need to activate our full potential. We need to hit a higher gear and become high performers at whatever we do. We have to become more focused, productive, influential, and successful.
And it’s not always easy. Many people are struggling more than they have to in these areas.

Influence: High Performance Habit

Sometimes it’s a parent or a teacher, or a great boss or a mentor who goes out of his or her way to listen and advise. But often the most powerful influencers in our lives are those who lead by example;...
High Performance
Every couple of years, I get the irresistible urge to change things up; to try something new, to push myself past my previous limitations – in short, to grow. I had a business growth spurt that pushed me to publish a book, and a spiritual growth spurt engaging in the Alembic Program offered by the Kaiser Institute. I embraced the Paleo diet about four years ago to take back control of my health; no sugar, grain or dairy! I’ve always been the kind of person who’d rather be a little overwhelmed than bored. I’m frankly not sure whether that’s a good or a less-good way to go, but it’s always been my style and it’s served me well.
2017 found me hankering for my next opportunity to go bigger. That chance presented itself when my friend and webmaster Chad Barr invited my husband and me to be his guest at a four-day...
