“Don’t confuse progress with winning: If the world is improving at 10 percent and you’re improving at 2 percent, you might be improving, but you’re losing.”

*As we are getting close to the end of the year, take this Christmas Eve to determine if you are winning this year or not.

“I schedule my workouts as if they were meetings, and I make sure they don’t get canceled. I make a deliberate plan to fit in a workout each day of the week within my schedule.”

“I like circuit workouts and core workouts. I always like to break a sweat from the get-go right up through the hour. We do everything from using large core balls to doing basic pushups and sit-ups to sprints on the stationary bike. I enjoy changing exercises during the hour and throughout the week.”

*Schedule your workout for today and remember that it is Christmas Eve.

Kate Spade’s billion-dollar brand was remembered after the fashion designer was found dead of an apparent suicide in her New York City apartment. Spade built a business empire — one she started out of her one-bedroom Manhattan apartment with her husband — over the course of two decades.

*You too can build a billion-dollar business empire out of your apartment. But if that’s not enough and you don’t have the balance that you need in life, it doesn’t matter.

Is building your dream business going to be enough for you?

People are most likely to commit suicide around Christmas timeFalse. Contrary to popular belief, the suicide rate peaks in the springtime, not the wintertime.

I was born in Northwestern Pennsylvania and lived in a trailer park. I was raised by very conservative and religious (Wesleyan Methodist) parents. By some miracle I graduated college and moved to Florida. I have been a public school teacher since 1995. I have 7 years until I can retire. I was married in 1999 and divorced in 2001. I remarried in 2017 to Kate - 21 years my junior. Some of my life experiences as a 46-year-old, white American male, will come through in my writing, but the majority of this daily journey will be dedicated to improving myself, and hopefully you as well.
