Sarah Peck’s blog is a must read. She’s cranking our consistent, high-quality content right now and she deserves a spot in your feed reader.

Case in point: she’s developed this handy questionnaire. This one-page exercise makes you ask yourself the tough questions about your current line of work to see if you are where you’re supposed to be.

Why a Year?

I’m spending this year trying to make a living by speaking. I wanted to commit to this for a full 365-day period. Even though I already speak 15-20 times a year, and I’ve built up to that “on the side,” I have made a commitment to go all in this year and see what can [...]

Four Years Ago, Four Years From Now

I don’t like to look at my life in decade markers. Where will I be 10 years from now? is too hard a question to answer. That’s a third of my life. Forecasting that far our – unless I want to sell insurance the rest of my life – is nearly impossible. Instead, I look at [...]
