So true, especially when you need to hit the breaks or change direction or accelerate along your true path. Grab the wheel and go for it. Live your #bestlife! #MondayMotivation

I have always found that it's many of the things that have made me strong, and the lessons I needed to learn to gain that strength, that have really led to the happiness I now experience. What is the most powerful lesson you've learned that has led to your strength and the happiness you now feel? #MondayMotivation

It's so easy to be negatively influenced by others. What are you doing (or not doing) right now because someone else says you should... even though you want something else? #MondayMotivation this week is to take one step to change that. Do it now. It will be that much harder down the road as it becomes that much more entrenched. #BestLife

Today and every day... celebrate the amazing women in your life and all they bring to it. #MondayMotivation

All Diets Fail Eventually! Today I’d like to brush off my health coach hat and talk about my belief that all diets fail eventually. Recently the obesity rate of the US adult population was reported to have increased to 42.4%. That’s nearly half of all adults in the US! It’s scary considering all of the associated health risks and that’s why I wanted to discuss it today. ... For a business owner who is obese, overweight or experiencing a downward trend with your health there are additional factors that can increase those risks considerably. This blog post of mine dives into why this is an important issue to look at for everyone including business owners, what needs to change, and how you can begin down a path of freeing yourself of the diet influence forever.

In honour of #WorldTeachersDay today your #MondayMotivation is all about gratitude. Reach out and tell the teachers in your world how much you appreciate all that they do. I think they might really need to hear it right about now. My wife is a teacher and I have several friends who are teachers. I have seen the amazing influence of great teachers on my daughter all through elementary school and now into junior high. And, of course, I reflect on the positive influence many of ...my teachers had on me with great appreciation. I know first hand the stress and challenges they face and the hard work teachers do every day, often well above what their job calls for. With limited support from a challenging government and facing everything COVID is throwing at them, they are there once again putting the needs of the students they care for at the top of the priority list. Let's honour them today and do what we can to let them know how much we appreciate them all year long. How has a teacher influenced your path into the business world? How has a teacher helped you overcome a significant challenge you faced? What is something you remember fondly a teacher going out of their way to do for you? I'd love to hear your positive teacher vibes all day today. Comment away!
