One of my favorite business quotes is "If you can't measure it, you can't improve it."

We know it's nearly impossible to know whether you've met your weight loss goal without first getting on the scale and pulling out a measuring tape.  This allows you to acknowledge your phases of improvement.

This is a follow up segment to my 01.15.2019 article titled, "10 Things to Consider When Showing Up for a Booked Event. Read it HERE.

10 Things to Consider When Showing Up For a Booked Event

 

As I pack my car for this weekend's Featured Author event, I wondered if I had considered everything that could make this a successful and worthwhile trip.

Happy New Year 2019

2019 holiday new year Dec 31, 2018

Dare to be great? 

Is it really okay to level up?

You gosh darn right it is.

Some of the reasons you see the world like you do is because of your standards, boundaries or lack thereof coupled with your level of consistency when working towards a goal, the company you keep, the folks you allow to pour into you and how you prioritize your time.

I'm rooting for you,

Angela
