Have I told you all how much I love what I do?

I get to talk with the most elite advisors in our industry daily and get free advice and sometimes I share a little value back.

A lot of conversations lately have been around “leadership” and developing that trait yourself or developing leaders on your team.

One of the best NON-Leadership books that has helped me as a leader was “Procrastinate On Purpose” by Rory Vaden. It gives you tactical ways to automate, delegate or eliminate items on your plate so you can be a better leader and grow your team/business.

Cool news is we have Rory coming out to train at our next Sales team training Transformation this year!

Be Excellent!
