    by

    To achieve an extraordinary result you must choose what matters most and give it all the time it demands.

    How Do You Leverage The Power in Life’s Small Moments?

    by

    Our life is comprised of discrete moments. We get up, and that’s a moment. We come in the door and greet our spouse…moment. We tell our kids to get off us…moment.
