Our ability to succeed is directly related to our ability to set boundaries.

They’ve had a huge impact on my work and life.

My Final Words Of The Week
When my 4-month-old daughter goes to sleep, she doesn’t just go right to sleep.
Shocker, I know.
There’s a process of gradual steps she goes through before eventually drifting off.
There’s a lesson there for all of us.

Have an interesting week!
Josh
