A New Path and a New Face Once Again

It’s been eight months since I’ve become the main writer of PluginID, and within those eight months I’ve grown tremendously not only as a writer but person as well. I’ve read and responded to hundreds of emails, wrote several dozen posts, and have taken many of those connections into the real world as well. It’s surreal to think I took over just eight months ago.

Having been able to write for such a wonderful audience ( and I sincerely mean that ) has been a blessing leaving me with an abundance of great opportunities and relationships. That being said, today I am here to announce I am no longer the main writer behind the site. Adam is still the owner and will post from time to time and Brett Hagberg will now be the man behind the wheel. More on that later.

Emergency Exit: 5 Signs You Need To Stop, Run, And Quit

We live in a society where quitting or “giving up” is highly frowned upon. If you walk away from something you no longer have an interest in, you’re deemed a quitter. If you discover a new direction that requires a different use of your time you’re said to be lost.

Yet despite what many say, quitting isn’t always a bad choice and in fact can be one of the best decisions you make. Whether that means dropping an old hobby for a new one, or leaving a job to resurrect your broken soul in more fulfilling work. There’s no point sticking around just for the sake of it.

How to Be a Productive Goal Achiever + Special Offer

7 Steps for Turning Inefficiency into Goal Achievement

I’ve been wanting to write this for a while now because I began taking note of something interesting about myself this summer. It seems that I and many others have a bit of trouble focusing and being productive during the hot summer months or what is known as the summer doldrums. This is not merely a summer phenomenon. Many times during the year I am my own worst enemy when it comes to accomplishing what I’ve set out to do because I get sidetracked easily and I enjoy being engrossed in busy-ness of working in my business that I often forget to work on my business. I am speaking of my particular case and business goals but you can apply this to any goals or aspirations in your life.

Mind Over Matter: How I Completed My First 10 Mile Run

It’s been a while since I’ve run competitively, but the years in which I ran cross country in high school remain some of the most growth-filled years of my young life. While running certainly isn’t for everyone, I find it hard to believe their is a better sport in which you can learn about yourself and your limits. When you run it’s just you, your shoes, and the pavement.

While I only ended up being a mediocre high school runner, I worked my butt off to get the results I did. My running career involved overcoming injuries, pushing through pain, and testing my own self limits. One of my biggest lessons came when I completed my first ten mile run.
