“How do you increase retention? How do you increase value? How do you increase impact?…I’ve been thinking about how I want to run my business to 1.) continue being accountable to myself, but 2.) to do those things: impact, be proactive, and show my clients that I’m here to serve.”

A reminder that some things aren’t worth waiting for [Article]:

“But a lot can happen between today and the day you start living.

Your health will inevitably decline.

Your kids will have their own lives.

Sadly (and also mentioned in Kris’ post), you’ll probably lose a friend or three.

Because we forget:

Tomorrow is not guaranteed.”
