40 Rules to Live By

Yesterday, I celebrated the milestone of 40 trips around the sun-a.k.a., my 40th birthday. What a ride it has been!

Over the past four decades, I’ve learned a few things-especially through running a business during the last 10 years. Whatever you want to call these insights - ”lessons learned,” “rules to live by,” “mid-life mantras,” or something else-they guide me in my personal and professional endeavors. Today, I will share them with you in hopes they will help you in some way, too. Enjoy!
