You’re waiting. There’s a sense inside of you that someone is going to come and tell you that it’s ok. That you have permission to do the thing that you’ve always wanted to do.

Sometimes we get busy and that’s all it is. Just busywork. We go 100 mph and get 100 things done but at the end of the day, we feel like we’re in the same place that we started. Ever felt like that? Ever wish you had a sledgehammer that would break through the busyness so that you could see what you really need to be doing? Me too. One night while at dinner with clients, one shared a question that did exactly that. It was like this tool that you could use that would help you cut through the BS and get..
