Do you run 10-15 late to appointments? I used to. I did not want to be that way. I always apologized and deep down it bugged me. After my wife gave me a wake up call on the subject, I studied my view of time. I share my story and journey on handling time and pass along what I learned to you. This is changed my world. I no longer rush around. I have less anxiety. I have improved relationships, and I have increased business. (Try being on time, which means early, to all your business appointments, see what your clients will say about that!) ~Enjoy
