If you were to ask me to name a single person who has impacted my life more in the last 8 to ten years than anyone else, my selection would be easy. Michael Hyatt. Funny that we often don’t think about the people we admire, the ones pouring into our lives so effectively, as having coaches themselves. The best ones, however, do. And Michael Hyatt is no exception. Michael’s coach for more than a decade, and the man with whom he has co-authored his latest book is none other than Daniel Harkavy, founder and CEO of Building Champions. The book they’ve written together is Living Forward: The Proven Plan to Stop Drifting and Get the Life You Want.
