Know Your Value
This week’s blog is about value. What is value anyway? Websters defines it this way: “a fair return or equivalent in goods, services, or money for something exchanged”. Pretty simple right?

It’s often come from the lips of someone who is making an excuse for why they don’t have something they want, but nonetheless there is still truth in the statement. Knowledge is important, but [...]
Why it’s Called Extra’ordinary’
I was inspired by something I read yesterday to write this blog post about something I think far too many of us miss out on far too often; the extra’ordinary’.

How Bad Do You Want It?

In a world of kids who are taught instant gratification and gimme, gimme attitudes, the idea of sticking with something for the long haul, isn’t always popular, or even mentioned.
