What can you do in 1-day?

There is much we can get done when we focus on what's most important to us AND get the right support.   But sometimes we get stuck and our personal and professional to-do lists just grows and grows until it's so overwhelming that it makes us sick to even think about it. That's why a concept I learned in coaching school called "Integrity Day" stuck with me for 20 years! Taking back your Integrity starts by writing a to-do list and/or a tolerations list (a list of the things or people you've been tolerating that you need to do something about).  It ends with more things done than you thought was possible.   Integrity Day Defined

Do you live in a country that doesn’t respect wealth?

"You can preserve wealth in a country that doesn’t respect it." -- Eric  Baldwin, Forbes Writer, in an article"Smart Money Strategies For Obama 2.0"  that  he wrote at http://www.forbes.com/sites/baldwin/2012/11/26/smart-money-strategies-for-obama-2-0/ Do you feel that we live in a country that doesn't respect wealth?  (and why)  Do you disagree? (and why)   What does being wealthy or successful look like to you? Personally, I agree with his comment.  For many, many years, I've noticed that as much as we strive for success, and for most of us wealth is a part of that success, it seems that as soon as someone or a company becomes "successful"  people look to "chew them down".
