212 In All You Do…at 211 degrees water is hot, at 212 degrees it boils, boiling water creates steam and steam is powerful enough to move a locomotive. It’s that 1 extra degree in life personally and professionally that takes you from ordinary to extraordinary results. Live 212.

Growth and comfort do not co-exist. In this challenging market, in order to thrive, grow and get better, it is imperative to get out of your comfort space and into your uncomfortable space. I'm doing this in several different areas of my life - work, personal, financial and self-care.  

The quote I always live by is "Work Hard and Be Good To People".

“It is not what you go through, it is how you come through it.” We get so hung up on the trauma and events we have gone or are going through. Yet no matter how difficult or even life changing the tragedy…we are defined by the way we come through it. 

“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” – Philippians 4:13 

"Serve NOT SELL".

"You don’t set out to build a wall. You don’t say, 'I’m going to build the biggest, baddest, greatest wall that’s ever been built.' You don’t start there. You say, 'I’m going to lay this brick as perfectly as a brick can be laid.' You do that every single day and soon you will have a wall." – Will Smith

“Don’t be so busy making a living that you forget to make a life.” – Dolly Parton

Dolly is one of my idols, so much so that I named my dog after one of her songs! I just think she is spot on with this though. It’s so easy to get stuck in the 9-5 mindset and work so hard for someone else or even yourself, but you have to keep your WHY in focus and make that a priority too!

Proverbs 27:17 – "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." It really matters who you surround yourself with. Choose wisely as it can help determine the direction of your life.
