2022 was an incredible year for this site and our entire community of leaders. Because of your faithfulness, encouragement, and sharing this site’s content with others, the following are some of our accomplishments this past year:
A Growing Online Audience
Overall readership grew 4% from 2021. 4% may not sound like much but experts say blogs are losing their popularity. In fact, some say it is dropping like a stone. Therefore, while many site’s are declining in readership, we actually went against the grain and grew last year!!! Thank you.
New Leadership Book Released
I released my third book 2021 The Year In Leadership: The Stories Of Faith, Athletics, And Business Which Inspired Us All. I LOVE this book and you will as well!!! While its stories are from a single year, its lessons are timeless. At its peak, the book appeared on four different Amazon best-seller lists. Once again, this is not possible without you the readers. Thank you!!! I am humbled. BTW, my fourth book is going to press in the next couple of weeks!!! Look for pre-order opportunities by mid-February.
