Okay folks so I hope this was useful for you guys. In July of this year, as a challenge for myself, what I’d like to do is share what goals I’ve done and what’s changed throughout the year for me.

But hey since you've read this far. While you are here, guys and gals, you should share some of your goals for 2017 it doesn’t have to be extravagant, maybe just that over arching goal for the year? And of course if you have any other questions, comments or suggestions leave em’ down below in the comments for me. Here is to a great 2017! As always guys God bless, be safe!
