Personal Update
— As you read from last week’s report, I was at the Real Coaches Summit in Las Vegas last week. Man, the rest of the week I was exhausted! These events are incredible, but they do take a lot out of you if you go into them like I do, wanting to learn, and digest the information,, and then attempt to put some of the moments that resonated the most. That’s only one side of it. The other side is meeting people, and hanging out with friends that I’ve made over the years from attending these events. While it’s an action-packed weekend, these events around all these like-minded people recharge me with more drive toward future efforts than the energy they drain from me in the moment. Yeah, Ill keep going to them.
