As the Chinese proverb goes, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Paul Goldsmith's life is marked with juggling 3 kids, multiple companies, a not perfect yet fantastic marriage, and time for the occasional marathon. He never would have got there without identifying and taking the next simple step. Now, he's going to help you find yours.
