We have both lived in that tension more times than we can count, and we want to walk you through a better way. Put The Big Rocks In First You have probably seen the object lesson before.

That heavy, pressured feeling is not what He has for you. We have been right where you are. After years of building businesses that fit our actual lives and not the other…
