It’s a nice feeling, but I’m always a little amazed because I really don’t give all that much advice. I mostly ask questions that help them to understand more fully what they want and see ways to make it happen. If I’m working with them on an ongoing basis, I help them STAY focused, directed and accountable.

The biggest challenge I see facing people and companies is lack of clarity about what they want and why they want it. Once we’re clear, once we have a big enough why, there’s really no stopping us.
