Today in Alpharetta, Georgia, I had one of those full-circle moments I’ll never forget.
At the beginning of a workshop I was leading, I played a six-minute clip from Les Brown.
Why?
Because before the strategy, the systems, and the execution…
You have to believe in yourself.
As the video was playing, someone walked into the room. A few moments later, I noticed a phone being held up.
They turned it around… when a captive said I want that video…
And there was Les Brown, watching me.
I didn’t realize until afterward that the person in the room was one of the leaders on Les Brown’s team.
I first started watching Les back in 1994 through The People’s Network, and for over 30 years, he has been one of my greatest sources of inspiration.
Today was more than a surprise.
It was a reminder that the voices that shaped us often become part of the voice we use to serve others.
Thank you, Les, for being such a powerful inspiration.
Most deals don’t stall because of price. They stall because of the words you’re using without realizing it.
You can copy and paste your sales scripts into this brand new system I created and it flags the exact phrases that create hesitation, slow momentum, or quietly kill urgency. Then it shows you what to say instead so deals keep moving forward.
This is the first time I’m releasing my own sales program, and I’m SO excited about it. Objection-Proof Sales is live for $27.

What a wonderful weekend in New York City celebrating Tara and Austin. Such a beautiful ceremony and wedding.
We explored all over the city eating our way through (as usual). Great to spend family and friend time! ❤️
Soaring Beyond the Summit: Finding Peace in Letting Go
After the trek, Josh and I arrived in Pokhara, ready for a little rest and one last adventure. We spent the day exploring the city and shared a final lunch with our guide and Sherpa, Keke. Over lunch, Josh mentioned paragliding, and smiled and said, “I know just the place.”
It all sounded simple enough until the next morning.
When we reached the launch site and I saw people literally running off the side of a mountain, I felt knots in my stomach. My first thought was, “What did I just agree to?”
But then I caught myself. I have learned that fear is often an invitation to grow. So I decided I was not going to back away. I was going to trust the process and enjoy the experience.
Moments later, we were in the air.
There was no control. The pilot guided everything. And somehow, that was exactly what I needed. In my business life, when stress rises, my instinct is to try to control everything.
For the next forty-five minutes, I was not climbing or descending. I was floating, letting go, trusting, and taking in the beauty of Nepal with the Himalayas in the distance.
Watching Josh spiral and soar with his pilot, I saw something simple but powerful illustrated perfectly. When you stop trying to control everything, you create space for life to lift you higher.
This entire journey has been about stretching my comfort zone, saying yes to the unknown, stepping away from the business for three weeks, learning to release what I cannot control, and trusting the next step, or in this case, the next gust of wind.
Growth does not end at the summit. Sometimes, it begins the moment you let go and soar.
What are you ready to let go of?
By the way, the final video is Josh spinning freely in the sky, the perfect picture of trust and freedom.
