Hi Coachy Loves. I’m sitting out here in this beautiful out of doors because it is summer. You can see the beautiful flowers behind me and the breeze is blowing, and the summer is here and it’s just gorgeous. I was having a client call earlier and we talked about the fact that it’s summer now.

Hey, Coachy Coachy Loves. I’m heading out to San Antonio later today for a DiSC Conference for the week. But first, I wanted to give you my Soapbox Moment. Okay people, here’s what it is. Do Not, DO NOT ask for business from people without giving them something first. You cannot ask people for any kind of business whatsoever unless you have first given them something valuable.
