Today's starting quarterback has "I have a crazy obsession with automating processes in your business so you can work less and make more money."

Her name is Caroline Balinska -- aka the Ecommerce Growth Specialist. She is a forward-thinking game-changer with simple solutions for Merchants to get their first 1000 sales.

THE FIRST 1000 ARE THE HARDEST! Caroline's ability to change the mindset of merchants is the real trick to her skill. Her bold, creative ideas make others take notice, and she presents them in her own unique way that is easy to understand for a newbie merchant.

People watch to see what Caroline will do next because she thwarts traditional boundaries. Her ability to reformulate products, processes, and business models is her distinct advantage in the ever-changing world of eCommerce.

Passionate about business and marketing, Caroline mentors and speaks professionally about a multitude of business and marketing topics and often focuses around marketing pertinent to eCommerce businesses.

She also decided about six years ago that she wanted to live in Europe and so, packed up her bags and did just that!

What I love most about Caroline is her no-nonsense attitude about getting things done. When she sets her mind to something, it happens. That's in the true spirit of being a PYP MVP!

Loss can be one of our greatest teachers. This summer wasn't supposed to be the way it was because last December, I sat next to my mom in a hospital room and took notes as she planned her funeral.

None of us expected her to make it to the new year. But she did, and the summer that almost wasn't became the summer that was.

_

During my break this year here at the lake, I've made time to reflect about the power loss can have on our lives, how we can use it for accelerated growth, and how gratitude and grief can exist side by side in our hearts. Life is always pushing forward. It's up to each of us to decide if we will be a part of it or not.

I recorded this bonus episode while paddling my kayak on the last day of my vacation this year.

Enjoy.
