​I’ve always believed we deserve to live an uncommon and extraordinary life. That was one of the main reasons I wrote the book, Sustainable Excellence, Ten Principles To Leading Your Uncommon and Extraordinary Life. But how do you achieve this significant life in a time when everyone seems to just get by?
 
My thought was to develop a membership program to delve deeper into the principles outlined in my book. As a result, I’m looking for 6-8 people to become Founding Members to act as advisors to help me set the direction of the Membership. As a Founding Member, I will be offering you the lowest price of $49 per month for the lifetime of your membership.
 
This offer will be open until the close of business on May 13, 2022 (MST), on a first come first serve basis, or until the Founding Member spots are filled. If you’re interested in getting in on the ground floor and helping me set the direction of the Motivational Check Membership, please email me at motivationalcheck@aol.com. Thank you.
