Ryan Lancaster's Profile
Not long ago I would describe myself as lost, frustrated, unfulfilled and directionless. I had fallen into a rut and everything in my life was beginning to suffer. I decided I had had enough, and it was time to take back control of my life. My solution was simple, I would give myself hard accountable deadlines and start working on accomplishing my life’s ambitions. I gave myself 12 big, lofty, life goals and committed to accomplishing one a month. Check out scalemylife.com to see my journey.
