For the past seven years, I’ve worked as a fitness professional for Lifetime Healthy Way of Life. This year, however, I encountered something I’ve never seen before: three relatively young boys, out of school for summer break, training several days a week—alongside their dads. Too soon?

Which motivates you more? The carrot or the stick? I think most people are a combination of the two. Personally, my will to finish becomes almost unstoppable once I catch sight of the finish line. And yet, there are definitely areas of my life where the stick takes the upper hand. Can you say taxes... Continue Reading →
I first heard this question from the late great Earl Nightingale. He was one of the pioneering founders of the personal development industry with his iconic classic, "The Strangest Secret."
