  8. Success always takes a lot more effort than you think is necessary.
  9. Authenticity is an action verb.

    Authenticity is an action verb hits home. It’s the action that defines it.

    I love this! I will definitely share! The #1 hits home with me. Just because you aren’t sure what to do doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do anything. I think in business we want all the answers and we “what if” ourselves to death- and literally paralyze our business at times. Thanks for the insight!

      You bet, Melissa. Glad it made a difference. Go be awesome…

      You nailed it, Ken. I got so excited I dropped the ball. :-)
