Want vs Work
We all want to be successful. We all want to do our best. We want to win. What we all don't do is work to be successful. We don't work to be our best and we don't work to win. I've been asked since an early age what do you want to do in your life. When I've responded...
I Wish…
No, I'm not quoting Skee-Lo and yes I dated myself with that reference. The title is something we've all uttered, I wish.. I wish I would have done this or I wish I would have done that. I second guess myself often with coaching and being a parent, which leads to me...
