The Power of Giving UP In our busy days, it is challenging to get everything done. That is why I have created my own personal “Give Up” List! Time is precious and we only have a set amount of time – we want to make sure we are investing our time wisely. By knowing what we can let go of, we can make room for the right things in our world, the things that will make both our business and lives better. So, what do we Give Up? The answer is not the same for everyone, as we all show up differently. I encourage you to think about areas where you can free up time to re-invest it in more productive areas. Here are some of the items on MY Give UP List:
