Lots of thoughts streamed through my head as I put together folders for my newest Mastermind Group that started Wednesday night. I got a kick out of how my marketing materials have evolved over the years. I love how I'm able to put a branded label through my...
During the final session of my winter Mastermind Group, I had participants close their eyes as I read three visualizations. We then debriefed each woman's to establish a Life Purpose statement. Here's what happened with Harriette Trevino, co-owner of Bull's Head...
