Have you ever heard someone say “I just want to be happy”? Or maybe you have told yourself that you don’t want something, because that is not going to make you “happy”? The word itself is very misunderstood, and I think I know why. Listen to this conversation I had with a coaching group, explaining what my philosophy on happiness is.

There are a lot of softies out there….. people afraid to go after a goal, preoccupied with the opinions of others, and too worried about how they appear to take a stand, and be a leader. For some of them there is no hope… but for a lot of them, they need a formula for how to transform themselves into a real killa… and by that I mean someone who knows how to be themselves, establish goals and turn them into reality, and repeat. The world needs more of these. Take a listen to hear my take.
