From early on I learned that if I wanted something it’d require work in return. It all started when I was around 12. I lived at the top of a MASSIVE HILL. The kind of hill that your grandparents would have referred to as “the hill they had to walk up both ways, in the snow, with no shoes on” to prove a point. My parents finally let me go more than a few blocks from home. At the bottom of the hill was a Dairy Queen. I’d do yard work, my chores and whatever else to make money. Once I had the money in my hand I had a choice. The choice was simple. Do I want to ride my bike to the bottom of the hi ..read more

Once in a lifetime opportunity... If you are currently restricted (can’t work, minimal activity, stuck home) however you define it... You have 2 choices..... The first and the option I’d select is...

Effectively staying at the current level. That truly means, you sink and decline because everybody else will be improving.. This is a once in a lifetime chance to literally start/restart and spend 1-8 weeks ..read more
