(Wondering what I'm talking about? Click here!) But, there are many, many, many ways to apply Pareto's Principal (also known as the 80/20 Rule). In this YouTube video, Brian Tracy explains how [...]
It's true - Lisa Rothstein is a superstar! As I was preparing for the launch of my first program, I was filled with anxiety around writing copy for my emails, sales page, and landing page.

Were you wrapping gifts on December 24th (or possibly purchasing gifts on December 24th) or were you sitting back enjoying a quiet moment reflecting about the reason for the season?
