Goals Create a Route for Success
Well, here I was thinking success was about talent, luck, or just winging it and hoping for the best. But after years of trying to “figure it out,” I learned something simple yet powerful. Without a goal, success is just a dream. I remember a time when I felt completely stuck working hard but going… Continue reading Goals Create a Route for Success
The Power of Failure

I’ll never forget the day I received a handwritten note from someone . It wasn’t long, it wasn’t fancy, but it said one thing: “I see your effort. Keep going you’re making an impact.” At the time, I was exhausted, questioning myself, wondering if what I was doing even mattered. That small note?
