It’s Not Too Late To Turn Things Around.

Rich Gee Group

One of my clients had a grand opening this weekend — and I made it a point to be there to help out with the crowds. It’s a state-of-the-art fitness complex — the first of it’s kind in Oxford — and by the size of the reception, it’s going to be a huge success. As a small present, I designed and printed a banner of Greg Plitt with one of his favorite quotes: “There are two types of pain, the one that breaks you and the one that changes you.

Lead Change Blog
