In this episode, I introduce you to Bruce 5.1. Yes, it was my birthday and I turned 51! I don't think of it as getting another year older. I think of it as adding some new features, making a few improvements, and removing some outdated and unnecessary things from my life--just like installing an upgraded version of an Operating System on a computer or smart phone. Listen as I share with you what I have planned for Bruce 5.1!

This will be the year of saying "No" to almost everything unless it is a "Heck YES!!" opportunity

By saying Yes to something, you simultaneously say No to something else

When you say “Yes,” you are also saying “No!”


When you stop chasing the wrong things, you give the right things a chance to catch you!
