What does it take to reach your goals? Here in the middle of playoff season we’re going to talk about reaching your big goals. Today’s guest, Stu Grimson, had to take a roundabout way to his big goals, and today he’ll talk about life as an “enforcer” during his 14-year professional hockey career. We’ll dive into the sometimes winding road to success, the importance of good coaching, and not relying on managers or trainers to get you ready for your life’s “big game.”
Have you thought about your estate plan? Or done your “what if” planning? Our headline looks at the tragic accident last week of Alex Harvill who died while attempting a record breaking motorcycle jump. It’s the grim reminder that we all need to plan for tomorrow, today.
Of course, we’ll also throw out the Haven Life line to a member of our basement Facebook group who wants to know the do’s and don’ts of being a landlord. What would we advise him to beware of? Believe it or not, we’ll share our opinion! And that’s not all. We’ll also share some of Doug’s trivia.
Enjoy!
