You want to know the number one reason the swHw Business Tracker contains the format I’ve kept for myself over the years? Because I’m a sinner. (I’ll give you a minute to get over your shock – ha!) But truthfully, I am prone to sin. I am prone to wander. So the four words on the front of the tracker is the most important component of the swHw business tracker: keep my hustle holy.
