Kevin B. Jennings is back with us by popular demand after giving us so much value on Episode 47.  In this episode we talked about driving our schedules rather than having our schedules drive us. Kevin shared about a retreat he went to in October 2015 that changed his perception of planning his schedule. "Before anyone asks me, my schedule already reflects my priorities." We discuss the concept of an ideal week, which Kevin gleaned from Carey Nieuwhof.  "Energy is futile. Do I know when I'm at my best? You want to do what you're best at when you're at your best." Kevin challenged us to not let email and other people's priorities rule us. He shared this concept from Brandon Bruchard: "Your inbox and email reflects everyone else's priority for you not yours." We have to prioritize even the access we give to people. In our discussion, Kevin shared his goal setting process. This quote from Michael Hyatt was helpful: "If a goal no longer aligns with who you are, throw the goal away." "Strategic quitting is a fantas

Kevin is "passionate about helping people connect with what's inside of them and getting it out to add value to the lives of others." Kevin shared about the importance of making shifts in life and business.  "Quitting is not negative." He had to stop thinking quitting is always bad.
