I am not a quitter, I am extremely competitive and have never looked at quitting anything as an option. One day I had my mind blown when a good friend told me there is a difference between quitting and stopping. If something is not of any benefit and can even be a detriment then maybe you just need to stop doing it. Where in your life have you quit where you shouldn’t have, and where do you need to stop where you haven’t yet?

Just like a picture frame has 4 sides, if you were to remove any 1 of them, it would fall apart, the structure of your life can be seen the same way. Body, being, balance and business are the 4 sides of that frame. The beauty of the system is that if you have one of your sides that is by far stronger than all the others, you can appropriate how you built up that strong side and apply it to a weak side and make the entire system stronger.

Remembering who you are is something that is applicable in any aspect of your life. That one simple statement, when said to someone, is just a simple check on their self awareness, self esteem, and self worth. It is vital to remember who you are in your business, if you don’t then no one you serve, take care of, supply, or interact with will either, and you’ll be operating at a subpar version of yourself.

Having a game plan, revving the engine to the redline, and spinning the tires to warm them up is all great, as long as you don’t lose control halfway down the strip and end up in a ball of fire. We all need to know when to drag the breaks and regain control of our lives. By dragging the break you keep all the momentum without sacrificing the control.

Freedom looks different to everyone that looks at it. To some, freedom is money, to others it’s time and space to do what they want. Where freedom goes wrong is when you strive for someone else's version of freedom, or even worse, someone tries to push on you what your freedom should be. Is what you are doing in your life and business moving you towards or away from your freedom?
