People who REALLY CARE about you will continue to grow WITH you. I often say, “The people that can’t grow with you can’t go with you!” So many times I see organizations, marriages, and all sorts of relationships holding on to some “pretend” relationship that really isn’t there anymore.

Could you be honest with me right now and admit that there are things you want to do, but haven’t, because you’re afraid? Are you afraid: – It won’t work – You’ll run out of money – You might lose your job – You might lose all your resources and…
