- You're completely and utterly immersed in a task.
- You're oblivious to the outside world.
- You're focused only on your own progress and what’s going on right here and now.
- You're doing something you love.
- You realize time has totally passed you by.
If these have ever described you at some point in your life, it's likely you have been in a state of Flow.
Flow is when you are wrapped completely in the present where your creativity, productivity, and happiness collide to create a heightened state of incredible happiness.
In the realm of Excellence, it is known as being the fullest expression of your unique, God-given design.
So how do we get to this state?
Here are a few ideas for your consideration:
- Arrive at a clear understanding of your identity
- Have clear and distinct goals that flow out of that identity
- Develop clear action steps necessary to reach the goal
- Remove all distractions
- It also helps that the goal you are achieving is both challenging and enjoyable

Retirement can be a challenging transition for business owners. After years of building, managing, and leading their companies, stepping away often brings a mix of emotions, including uncertainty, anxiety, and even fear. As an advisor, your role is to guide clients through this significant life change, helping them reframe retirement not as an ending but as a new chapter filled with possibilities. Managing client expectations involves helping them understand that retirement isn’t just about leaving behind their business. It’s about opening the door to opportunities they may have never explored.

You start with a plan. You feel the momentum building. The first few steps feel good, maybe even great. Then, like clockwork, you find yourself right back where you started. It’s frustrating, confusing, and honestly, exhausting.
Why does it keep happening? And how do you make progress that sticks this time?
Here’s the truth: real change doesn’t happen because you’ve found the perfect strategy. It happens because you finally stop flirting with progress and commit to what’s already within you.
Is there a perfect exit?
Conflict within families or stakeholder groups can quietly grow, damaging relationships and disrupting progress if left unchecked. Recognizing the early warning signs of conflict is key to addressing issues before they escalate into larger problems. This is particularly crucial when dealing with high-stakes situations like family businesses, succession planning, or shared financial decisions.

For over forty years, Charlie greeted his customers with a smile, offered advice on all things tools and gadgets, and kept the town in tip-top shape. But now, Charlie was getting older.
