    โœ”๏ธ Resistance is real.
    As we take our daily strolls or weekly walks, we typically cover around 2 to 4 miles. my calves, Achilles, and shins would ache like crazy at first, but after a mile or a half-mile, the pain would start to fade.

    And when I recently played in a golf tournament, I unfortunately woke up with the most intense back spasms I've ever experienced. These little milestones are a good sign of sustained physical activities, despite the pain and discomfort, we power through to finish the fight. Resistance is real, my friend but it will all be well worth it!
    โœ”๏ธ Over the past seven years, I've been on a bit of a rollercoaster ride with my digital marketing agency. Through acquisitions and exploring different avenues for growth, I've discovered the power of e-commerce companies.
    By leveraging my skills in marketing and assembling awesome teams, I've seen firsthand how it can drive the bottom line for a business that I own and restart getting the e-commerce company back on track.

    โœ”๏ธ So, the way we work is pretty unique. The Marketing Collective is not into the whole buying-your-business-for-a-steal thing - that's just not our style.

    Instead, we aim to work alongside you as partners to increase the value of your business. By doing so, we can connect you with potential collaborators to bring even greater rewards upon exit.

  • Hey, everybody. Weeks Weekly is coming back to you with a complete and utter change of pace. WHY? I've been taking a closer look at my podcast, and the amazing guests and information I've been sharing, and I've realized that it's time for a change.
    I want to get into a different direction and get into a groove that is simple. It's about being authentically me and the challenges I'm facing right now.
    Let's dive into this new direction together, shall we?
    โœ”๏ธ Let's make those big generational changes that have an impact well beyond us.

    The revamp for Weeks Weekly is what I do for myself, but also with the hope of helping others facing similar personal and business struggles.

    By building a community and tribe that understands that regardless of age - whether you're 35, 45, or even 52 - life's challenges such as addictions, unhealthy choices, and feeling undervalued, can all be overcome.

    โœ”๏ธ Overcoming resistance to change.
    It's pretty funny, isn't it? When you finally decide to change, every fiber in your being pushes back. And it's not just your body - even your environment resists change.

    โœ”๏ธ Commit to pursuing optimal health and optimal wealth daily.

    Starting from now, the Weeks Weekly will revolve around achieving better health and wealth. To be honest, I became quite complacent and lost my way
    when my business slowed down. I am now ready to get back on track and excited to share this journey with you all.
    โœ”๏ธ Be grateful to people you have a common future and donโ€™t dwell with those you have a common past.
    As a business owner and a game changer, focus on people that inspire you and push you to become your best. You also have to accept that you can't hold onto the people from your past. Some will be with you on your new journey, and some won't - and that's okay.

    โœ”๏ธ It takes courage and determination to become THE ONE.

    Business leader and motivational speaker Ed Mylett often speaks how people around us look to us for hope and inspiration therefore we must believe that we must pull through no matter our struggles and use our lives as an example to help others lead better lives, too.

    โœ”๏ธ Clarity is always king. There are so many opportunities and options today that it can get confusing to choose as an entrepreneur. Every new system and tool that comes up promises the best solutions. Knowing what you want and the direction you want to take diminishes the overwhelm and allows you to focus on the things that work for your company and you.

    โœ”๏ธ It's not about AI as a tool; it's about us and how we use it.

    To gain perspective on using artificial intelligence to further creativity, one must consider that it still takes a human to ask the right questions necessary for successful implementation. The relationship between us, AI, creativity, and efficiency allows us to unlock accelerated progress.

    โœ”๏ธ As we become more comfortable going into large venues, participating in networking events and masterminds now will make the soundest investment for your business. You may not relate to everyone you meet during an event, but it is still possible to come away with one significant connection that may be beneficial.
