QUOTES FROM JIM

• “If you really want to figure out, you know what you should be doing now, you really should be looking at where you want to end up. Stephen Covey said, start with the end in mind, and he was a hundred percent correct, so we take people to the end of their life.”
• “Parents don't really have a clue about how to teach their kids how to make good decisions. They just assume that's going to come by osmosis, you know?”
• “Your inner voice is your coach. The way you speak to yourself is closest to what I call your command center.
