Today I had to make a trek to one of those dreaded places, the DMV. You see, I had just recently sold an old car that we had sitting in our garage for over a year. Finally, gave it to a family that really needed it and that was great, but of course you have paperwork that accompanies that.
Now, as you can probably tell, if you’re watching this, and certainly if you’re listening to this, you can hear the noise. I’m actually in my adventure van heading on a trip, but I wanted to give you this insight. I just got back from talking to one of my coaching clients, and they were facing an issue in their business.

It is my birthday, or a couple days ago was my birthday, but the weekend is upon us and my wife is surprising me with a lovely weekend away. Now, a couple years ago, probably even a year ago, but probably a couple years ago, I would have spent so much time and energy trying to figure out where we’re going, poking, prodding, asking certain questions of her to get an idea of the climate, the temperature, what kind of activities we would be doing, and I was really good at it. In fact, I could almost always pinpoint exactly where we were going each and every time without actually telling, but what happened was it really drained on her. I was ruining the surprise for her.
