State of the business(es):
Too much work, no time to do the things I REALLY want to do. Cutting back on the type and amount of work I’m taking on, maybe even the customers I’m taking on.

“5-KEYS” tip:On interpersonal relationships: one thing you can look out for in other people is the way they carry themselves. Covered in ep 69, 74, and 81. DISC, Direct, Interactive, Supporting, Critical, personality types.
The Direct person will display confidence, like he or she owns the place and knows what’s up.
The Interactive person will be engaging with anyone and/or everyone in their vicinity.
The Supporting one will be holding a door, or picking up a piece of trash, or looking for ways to help someone else out.
The Critical person will be scanning people/place/things to find what’s missing or out of place. They are looking for the details everyone else is missing.

Simply existing is not a reason to be handed the things you want in life, or even the things it takes to keep you alive.
The Constitution said it best: “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”.
Life, you were given at birth.
Liberty, is slowly being eroded away, but you still have the liberty to go Do/Be/Have what you want in life. You still have the liberty to create the kind of life you want to live. I you believe you don’t or can’t, then you won’t. It’s as simple as that.
