He was one my first regular coaching clients, he walked into the coffee shop we usually meet in, he sat down and said “ I feel like giving up because my friends do not support my new dreams”.

A few days ago a new NEXT store opened near my house and I along with a lot of other people went along to see how the new store looks like.
