Do you ever take a meeting with yourself?  At the risk of sounding weirder than usual, I believe that most people don’t spend enough time talking with themselves.  As a result, we may take too many actions without pre-planning or without fully researching our options.  The best way to get around that is to have […]

A fun, upbeat interview with Jack Canfield and Sharkie Zartman on how to step up to the challenges of aging and take charge of your life at any age.
