Hey Reader!!! 👋🏻 Hope that you’ve enjoyed your weekend and are looking forward to the upcoming week. While the week ahead will almost certainly include a challenge or two, it will also certainly include some positivity and progress. Focus your attention on the progress and let go of the other stuff.

Hey everyone!!! 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 I hope you had an amazing weekend and an opportunity to recharge. Time seems to zip by, but I’m having fun learning and building. Hopefully, you can say the same.

Hey everyone!!! 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 I hope you’ve enjoyed your weekend, that you’re feeling rested, and you’re excited for the week in front of you. If not, it’s worth reflecting on why you aren’t feeling that way, and what you might do to change that. Life is too short to just keep looking forward to the weekend and dreading the work week. For the past few weeks, we’ve been exploring what I view as the biggest mistake people make when changing something significant about their career; not having a solid…
