Today’s episode is coming to you from Cancun, Mexico. After a year of cancellations our Mastermind Owners Retreat is finally taking place at The Grand at Moon Palace. And what a beautiful place it is. Our group of professional travel agents is in our third day of collaboration and although the occupancy rate of the hotel may be low, the energy in our meeting room is at the highest level. We remain masked and socially distanced but the staff could not be more accommodating.
Yesterday the topic of motivation was raised and I thought of my spinnaker story. That’s when I thought I would share the story with you today before heading down to the meeting room. The fact that it is 5:30 am may explain the haziness in my voice. I am pretty sure you will still get the full value of my message.
