Andy’s Favorite 2024 Videos + Happy, Merry, et al!

Today, I’m celebrating Christmas Eve.

If you celebrate, Merry Christmas!

If not, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Bodhi Day, or whatever you want to celebrate.

It makes no difference to me what you worship, where you come from, where you are now, or where you want to go.?

I send good vibes to everyone and hope you do too.

We’d all get along a lot better if our INTENTION was good.

And, and, and we give people the benefit of the doubt that THEIR intention is good.

Not to mention, but I will, your life will be a lot less stressful.

Speaking of stress…

Let’s see if you can dump some of your job-search and career-development stress because, well, that’s what I do whether it’s a holiday, weekend, or any other day of the week.

I realize you might be celebrating this week.?

But, it’s Tuesday.

I made a promise to send you stellar insights every Tuesday at 6:30 AM CT.?

I don’t miss. Ever.?

That consistency, I hope, is a lesson, in and of itself, for you.

Don’t ever break a promise, whether to yourself or others.

See, you don’t notice when your integrity is slipping.

That’s because you don’t lose your integrity all at once.

You lose it little by little so imperceptibly you don’t notice it.

You know when you realize it?

When someone else points it out to you. Ouch.

Ok. Enough of that. You get the point. Stay consistent. Make sure you deliver—consistently.

Here are some of my favorite deliveries of 2024.

You can bookmark these for whenever you want to dial them up.

I started by trying to pick only one fav each month.?

But, as you’ll discover, I had some trouble. Ha ha.

Who cares? Right? It’s all in the spirit of learning and achieving…?
