Top 3 Value Bombs

1. If you need help, there is help out there or if someone that you know is in need of help. There are so many organizations and programs and resources available no one should suffer in silence. Reach out.

2. Tandem your passion with your corporate career. It will start slow but eventually, you will figure out how to shift your schedule.

3. One of their first clients, ended up coming to their office in tears, sobbing, and handed them a journal he wrote to his two daughters as his legacy to them. Through the tears he said, I don’t want to die anymore.
