A story involves a person that wants something and is willing to overcome conflict to get it. - Donald Miller I started this blog because I felt the story I was telling with my life was incredibly boring.

April 23, 2012 By Joel Runyon 19 Comments

What can you do in 2 years anyways? That's a good question. 2 years ago, I started making some changes in my life that led me to where I am today. One of those, included starting this blog.

17 Killer Strategies For Never Giving Up

April 10, 2012 By Joel Runyon 56 Comments

Most things aren't impossible, most people just give up too soon. The number one reason people don't get what they want is because they give up too soon. That's a true stat that I just made up, but I would venture to guess it's not far off. You've probably given up on a lot of things before. You didn't get the first job you wanted - so you gave up.
