The problem isn’t in the goals themselves—it’s what comes before them. Without a clear, compelling vision to guide us, goal setting becomes nothing more than an exercise in chasing numbers.

In a world where time is the one resource we can’t reclaim, understanding its true value is transformative. Imagine this: your time is worth $400,000 per minute. What would change in your life if you adopted this mindset? This perspective isn't about wealth or material possessions; it’s about valuing every moment as an opportunity to lead, strategize, and create impact.
Let’s explore why you are served by shifting from a rate-based mindset to a value-based approach to time. For professionals like lawyers, whose days are often consumed by the grind broken down into 6-minute increments, this change is essential for success and fulfillment.

I’ll break down a discussion from a recent coaching session to demonstrate what I mean and how my client was able to move forward.
