Every person on the planet, who makes it through a day, has the same hours available. And each of us, regardless of what we accomplish, had the same 24 hours in each day. High performers and successful and happy people find a way to make the highest and best use of that time. That is what I wanted to do too. I challenged myself to figure out how to get more out of my 24 hours than I did before, without sacrificing my quality of life. I didn't want to settle for what many other business leaders and entrepreneurs did. I didn't want to become enslaved by the unrealistic demands of both the business and my family life. I didn't want to continue to disappoint everyone around me, both personally and professionally. I wanted to make sure we never forgot to live while retaining the passion for what we did. I wanted to live life to its fullest, one that embraced both our family and our business. I knew it was possible. I just needed to figure out how. Once I figured out what Exponentiality looked like in my life, I wrote this book to share it with those who could benefit from what I learned the most - people like you. Too many entrepreneurs create a business to have a life, but they give up their lives to sustain the business. They succeed by the numbers but lose the joy of what they do. I didn't want that. I wanted to create a balance that let me experience the fullest joy at work and home. If you're like me, I want that for you too. I started this movement because I love helping people. Especially helping business leaders, entrepreneurs, and their families succeed. I want you to grow your business and create more balance in your life so that there is more joy in everything you do. I wrote this book, "Living Exponentially: Unlocking the Power of Every Moment in Your Business and Life " because I want to help you find balance sooner, learn it faster and better than I did

THANK YOU, MOM This book is about two of my furry family members, Oliver and Maggie. Maggie prances around the house. I think she knows this book is about her.
