From roughly 1992 to about 2000, I was involved with the old Amway business. I never made much money, but it introduced me to the world of personal development, and for that, I will be forever grateful. One of the leaders of my organization, Kenny Stuart, gave a talk once titled “3 is not 20,”... Continue Reading →
We’ve all been there: You start the day strong—crushing your workout, eating clean, knocking out focused work. By mid-afternoon, though? Decisions feel harder. Temptations sneak in.
