WINS 🏆

Habit Accountability Groups are doing great, most groups are wrapping up in 1-2 weeks. It’s been amazing seeing the changes that some people have made in the past 2 months. Some highlights include:

• Getting hired
• Changing careers
• Starting kickboxing
• Getting a few journalism projects
• Finished reading 2 books
• Losing 5lbs
• Learning a new language
• Started writing a book
• Completing a fitness challenge

It’s been even more inspiring to see some people extending their influence and positively changing the lives of those around them:

• Starting a community fitness program.
• Impacting family through healthy changes in diet.
• Challenging friends to improve through a similar accountability approach.

I’m looking to start new groups. If you believe you would benefit from this, or know someone who needs this type of support, feel free to send them my way.
