I love inspirational stories of people that have endured personal challenges and continued on to achieve their versions of success. I always have.

Some of my famous favorites are Terry Fox, Rick Hansen, The Hoyts, Michael J. Fox and Bill Porter. I can’t but get a tear in my eyes when I listen to their stories. Add a comment

Are you ready for a breakthrough in your finances and creating a whole new relationship to money and finances for less stress, freedom and happiness?

I have found a common theme working with my clients to create a breakthrough in their finances and that is they do not have a clear picture of what is coming in and what is going out and what is left over at the end of the month.  They just do not pay attention to their financial situation however they want to be in a better financial position.  Here's the question.  If something that they want is a better financial position, why are they not focused on their finances?

I read this quote this morning and I thought “That is a nice quote” it inspired me about getting another chance to win or do better the next time. Then I though wait a second. In the overall game of life there is no second chance. Add a comment
