Is there such a thing as an overnight success? To be honest, I don’t think there is. It may appear that way but usually, there’s a lot more to it. I thought about this topic as I received an Audible (1) newsletter saying that they were 14 years old. I started using...

Unassisted, Mike did a handstand against the wall. Last year at our retreat in July, this was just a dream of his. Over the year, he has worked on it. I even wrote about a tool he bought to help himself. (1) It’s incredible to see what is possible in a year. Things...
