June 11: Mark your calendars! 🗓️
❝There are two kinds of people in the world: those who drift through life and those who take ownership of their journey. The difference isn’t talent, intelligence, or luck. It’s a decision.❞ ― Dr. John C. Maxwell
❝Drift isn’t laziness. It’s motion without meaning. It’s when your calendar is full, but your heart’s not in it.❞ ― Chris Robinson
❝Dream big and work hard to make those dreams a reality.❞ ― Chris Robinson
I’m honored to welcome my mentor and Maxwell Leadership Faculty member, the man, the legend, Chris Robinson, Executive Vice President of Maxwell Leadership and author of "From Drift to Drive," to the Leadership & Success Podcast with Coach BZ for an exclusive LIVE interview.

✨Key #3: Break through perfectionism and procrastination using micro-moves that actually work
✨Key #4: Build the right relationships and systems that support your next level—not just your current comfort
