“Growth stops when you lose the tension between where you are and where you want to be.”
-John C. Maxwell
"The greatest courageous act that we must all do is to have the courage to step out of our history and past so that we can live our dreams." ~ Oprah Winfrey
Do you ever feel like you are doing all the ‘right’ things and not seeing the results?
Og Mandino says that “It is those who concentrate on the one thing at a time who advance in the world.”
What are you concentrating on?
We need focus and we need to focus on the right things.
There is no magic formula, however there is a formula.
It's taken alot of trying to get things right, I finally got it...
The gift lies in the journey.
The best gift that a business owner can give their business is the best version of themselves.
And I want to share what I am learning with you.
We talk about all thing's leadership, business, and personal development. We may even throw in a lil’ tech tool help here and there too!

Leadership in Real Time: The Small Choices That Shape Your Identity and Your Business
Leadership is not built in milestones.
Leadership is built in moments.
The moment you want to shrink but choose truth.
The moment you want to rush but choose patience.
The moment you want to please but choose alignment.
These small moments form your leadership identity more than any title ever could.
Harvard Business Review notes that micro habits influence long term behavior, decision making, and leadership integrity far more than one time breakthroughs (Harvard Business Review, 2020).
Leadership is not about the performance. It is about the pattern.
A title cannot give you consistency.
A strategy cannot give you character.
A platform cannot give you wisdom.
Leadership begins where no one is watching.
In the decisions you make quietly.
In the boundaries you honor without applause.
In the truth you tell yourself before you speak to anyone else.
Strengthen your daily choices and your leadership strengthens with them.
This is where real authority grows.
Quiet. Steady. Rooted.
