Imagine waking up thinking, "not another day!" Well, that's how Brian felt before he reached out to me. A lot of business owners think, "if I were more successful, had more money, and had a bigger team, I wouldn't feel this way." But, that's just not the case. The external never clears up the internal.

When you start to lose your enthusiasm, your energy and your positivity your performance starts to decline.

To compensate for this you will have to dig into more and more willpower in order to get the job done. In turn, that process process requires increased stress hormo...

Stress creates a ceiling on how far you can go and how much impact you have. As a high-performer, you will face stressful and challenging situations over and over again. Your ability to remain calm, clear minded and focus on solutions is going to determine how successful you are. As you’ll hear, I have the viewpoint that stress is something that can be mastered. I totally disagree with the idea that stress is just a normal part of everyday life and there’s nothing you can do about it. Y...
