How is your week going?  I hope you are doing amazing.  But if not, it’s not too late to turn it around.  
 
Are you making the progress you want in your life, business, relationships, and personal growth?
 
Every once in a while I will take a minute and sit down to analyze where I am with my life and business.  It’s at times like these that I refer back to one of the greatest lessons I learned from my Mentor, Parter, and Friend Robert Stuberg.  He would always talk to me about the PEARL Constellation.  This word “PEARL” is an acronym for 5 key areas of life that we need to stay on top of to experience the best life possible.
 
These areas are your Philosophy, Emotions, Activities, Results, and Lifestyle.  Today on the podcast I want to go through these areas in an attempt to help you have some Waypoints to both Navigate and Center yourself to start achieving more and staying on track.  
 
I hope you enjoy.  George Wright III
