10: Positive Masters - Mindset Clips - Manage Your Energy

Try tweaking your personal life and business to make a pivot.

Try tweaking your personal life and business to make a pivot. A couple of days ago, I walked around my neighborhood with my friend Claire Ann Niibu @bizcoachclaire who I've known since our time as students at Pearl City High School.
