We spend so much time and resources trying to "fix" our weaknesses and very little time figuring out our strengths.

Utilizing our strengths will take us MUCH farther than spending time trying to correct and worry about all our weaknesses. 

I have created 9 LLC's and out of those nine the most successful one is the ONE that I have focused on the most. There rest failed or are stagnant and produce NO revenue.

Moral of the story, stop chasing shiny pennies and focus on the ONE thing that is growing your life and business.

 

Define and Direct is a book I spent 2 years writing. It was a long process to produce 45 pages of content. However, I feel those 45 pages are directed and meaningful. Hopefully, they can shed some light on your life and help you move toward your goals.

Social Media has created a place for people to portray a person they actually are not. It has given people a platform to show how wealthy and great they are, but in reality they are full of shit. 

This is not only evident on social media but also in our day to day lives. So many people are trying to be someone they are not and making other appear inferior.

Remember, if they are gossiping to you, they are gossiping about you.

1883 is one of the best representations of the Oregon Trail. It shows the fragility of human life. Life in the 1883 was simple. All you had to do was figure how to survive. You had to win each and every day or you would be dead. Details were critical and failure to pay attention to them would end in death.

141 years later our society has altered drastically. Most of us do not live each day to just survive. We take for granted all of the conveniences we have. Shelter, warmth, travel, food, etc. We do not have to worry survival. It has been conveniently placed in front of us.

Imagine tomorrow the electricity goes out and we are forced to just survive. 

Many people you view as successful do not feel they are successful and many people that feel successful are not viewed as successful. 

What is the TRUE definition of success?  
Who gets to define success?







 

Lack of follow through is hindering your ability to thrive. It destroys your credibility but others, but more importantly yourself. 
   
How many times throughout the day, week, month, or year do you say or suggest something but you NEVER follow through with it?
How many meetings or invites have you had where "something" come up and you never rescheduled?

Once of the greatest skills  that will set you a part in today's society is to FOLLOW THORUGH WITH ACTION.


  

We have become a society of enablers. One of the best ways we can help our kids and society as a whole is to let them work through adversity. Let them have situations that are hard. Situations that take a toll mentally and physically. They must learn from these experiences to understand themselves and the world around them.

Parents are notorious for bailing their kids out of situations. How many times have you as a parent  came "the Rescue." If they never know what it is like to want, need, or struggle, and the persevere. They will want, need, and struggle their entire lives.

 

Tanner may have been born a couple hundred years late. His passion for the outdoors and hunting is unmatched.  After many successful hunts and bear encounters, Tanner has never quit pursuing the outdoors and hunting. He takes us on adventures of hunts for bighorn sheep, deer, and elk deep in the back country of Wyoming.

His stories will make you laugh, but will remind you of how brutal and touch nature can be. How man is simply a guest and the mountains and all it holds can be relentless.

Hannah has been working in education since 2012 as a High School English Teacher. It was never her vision to become a teacher, but she has been very influential to the students who have entered her classroom.

In a world where our school system is not always valued, Hannah finds the bright spots that keep her driven and excelling to create the best positive learning environment for her students.  

Hannah brings a little bit different perspective to the world of education that I believe should be considered. 

Teaching takes a special person and I am grateful people like Hannah continue to work and thrive in this career.
