In the Latest Episode of Turn Talk, I discuss the latest things going on in our world and the Everything is a Test. I give some examples of the trying times we are in and what steps we can take when faced with difficult choices and decisions. I know that we are all in different spots in our lives but we all face some "tests" along the way. Being Mentally tough and sharp helps us focus on the task at hand. Being willing to put in the work and take action allows us to handle the tough road ahead and not take steps backwards that would knock us off our road to success. And Finally, be willing to see these "tests" as opportunities to succeed and "Win" in all areas of your life. You are the average of the 5 people you hang around and you need to constantly evaluate the people around you. If they only try to bring you down or speak to you negatively, then they aren't adding value to your life.  I hope everyone is doing well. I am looking forward to getting back to having some regular guests on but I really enjoy bringing you some valuable content about things that I have learned in my life. Please share with a friend and rate, review and comment if you are getting some value from the Turn Talks.  Have a great day and I will talk to you soon.
