Whatever the excuse is—it doesn’t really matter. Because here’s what I want you to do on this Front-Row Friday: Do a little research on someone who had that exact same excuse…and went on to achieve great results anyway.

The Sleep Solution: How Positive Affirmations & Meditation Help You Fall Asleep Fast!
“Don’t take your phone to bed.”
That’s good advice—most of the time. But I’ve discovered one exception that’s been a complete game changer for me, especially lately when falling asleep feels harder than it should. I recently got honest with a dear friend about my struggle with sleep.

Front-Row Friday: The 10-Year Tap on the Shoulder
I recently heard a speaker ask a question that stopped me in my tracks: Do you even remember what you were doing 10 years ago? Then he followed it with this: Because 2036 will be here before you know it.

Take the Switchback: Why Your Path to Success Doesn’t Have to Be Straight

Perspective shift from an unlikely source.
