Read MoreMy coach Rich posted an update on Facebook last year about how Yoda was wrong. He was saying that by denouncing ’trying’, he underestimated the power of the willingness to TRY.

Read MoreLots of people I meet are scared to have the ‘money’ conversation. It feels like going into a dark, scary house at the end of the street that everyone says is haunted. You want to do it, but you don’t want to do it.
