Today it’s coaching call number 3. And you get to hear Matt call me out! I thought I was doing well to complete 4 of 6 goals, but Matt reminded me that if I’m serious about where I want to be in 5 years, then I have to be serious about completing my goals each month. So that was fun to hear. But I’m thankful I have a coach who can say what I need to hear.
