James Clear is the NY Times Best-Selling Author of Atomic Habits. I met James many years ago at a conference and I knew right away he had a special talent for distilling information down to the basics. I had the privilege to read an advance copy of AH and provide feedback in 2017. And, I remember...
Hey there. We’re on to the fifth and final step in the process toward a life of Intention – Adjust and Adapt. Just like a fighter pilot who has to consistently assess inputs and make adjustments to stay on course – you need your own situational awareness and you must take a look...
