Tap into Your Power of Focus
Do you know the power you have within yourself to focus? I like to think of focus as a by-product of passion. When you are passionate about something, wild horses couldn't keep you away from achieving your goal. You suddenly have tunnel vision and you easily ignore distractions. You develop a se ...

Things you can do with your BMW, but shouldn’t.
In case you didn't know this little fact about moi - I am a total BMW-addict. I especially love the BMW short films that were released in 2002. I know...7 years ago? BUT, they are timeless.
