Recently I worked 3D Mind with a great guy who’d made a mistake, and it cost him. There was a car accident and he was sober, but someone else died and so he went to prison for over a year.

You would expect some deep insight, and perhaps even some neuroscience to back it up.  Instead what you get is… Read the rest of this entry »

I now have a new look, and a new layout to this site! With just a little more than 2 weeks left in 2008, I’m making my commitment right now to share more of my knowledge and experience in changing people’s lives with the world at large. There are more possibilities out there than most people are aware of for overcoming life’s little obstacles.

Stay tuned for muuuuuuch more over the next year starting this next week with a new article a week, and regular commentary on the blog. Let’s turn 2009 around!
