We’ve made it to the end of 2015. Every week, my team and I will be delivering you a list of favorite articles, tools, and resources as we discover them. Maybe you are wondering, “Duke, why would you do that?” I am so glad you asked.
For one, I want to provide everyone who visits www.DukeMatlock.com with extraordinary value and information.
Being at the brink of a brand new year, many will be discussing “New Year’s Resolutions” around the holiday gatherings and football games this week. With that being said, we have found some of the best resources and articles to help you create and work on new goals for 2016.
Maybe 2015 was a year of transition for you and goals were not at the top of your “to-do” list. Even if this is the case, 2016 is a brand new year for a brand new you.
Without further ado, here are our top recommendations for this week.
