🎉 Happy March 4th!

Let me explain. Growing up as a kid, my family knew March 4th wasn’t a real holiday. But every year - we treated it like one and we celebrated it.

For background -like everyone else in the world, then and now - I use the New Year to set goals and map out what I’d like to focus on for the next 12 months.

But inevitably - we (or at least 80% of us) lose our fire and resolve to follow through with our newfound goals and aspirations.

That’s where March 4th comes in.

My Dad created March 4th as a symbolic date to take a more focused look at where we stand, why we may be struggling, and make a more concerted effort to MARCH FORTH and rededicate ourselves to action.

Faced with the choice of giving up on our goals or marching forward - this date serves as a reminder to execute instead of retreat.
