Spring has sprung, Reader! Quarter 2 is upon us and, if we follow nature's lead, it's time to emerge and expand in new ways. As we delight in spring creation at Grow Nau, we're focusing on our state of being. Be --> Do --> Have 🪄📈 Traditional business teaching says to focus on the doing first, in order to have what you want, and then you can become who you want to be. 😒 But ancient wisdom and modern quantum sciences tell a different story. No matter what we do, or how much we do, we will...
