When in Rome ? " A Peak Performer must begin to Live the Lifestyle You Preach"

I’m a firm believer that in order to BE a peak-performer, a 1%’er, you must begin to live the lifestyle you preach. Far too often in this industry we see reps pushing a lifestyle on their guests they know nothing about. Or, they may find it far too hard to relate to their hopes, wishes and dreams.

One of my favorite places on earth is Rome, Italy! Once you experience authentic Italian food, you will never want to eat pasta out of a jar again! Since visiting Italy in 2012, I now am forced to make my pasta sauce from scratch each and every time, letting it simmer for hours to really absorb the flavors. There’s just no other way lol...I was told that the key to an incredible pasta is high quality evoo, incredibly juicy tomatoes and great parmesan.

I vividly remember popping into mom and pop restaurants exhausted after walking through ruins all day and being served an incredible house wine for $3-4euros for a liter—it was ridiculous! Even better, stories from the owner himself about the origin of the wine and how it was just a tad bit “off” from what the winemaker intended so now it’s become their house blend ❤️🍷.

I would watch families of multiple generations wine and dine for hours without a care in the world but truly being present. And seeing the streets filled on Sundays with families walking hand in hand, laughing and enjoying life was so heart-warming as it’s not something you see here at home.

The ancient Roman ruins will blow your mind...my favorite of course, the Colosseum, where the gladiators used to “play.”

I recommend you visit so you can come back and tell stories to your guests about your incredible trip to Italy, or wherever it is you dream to go “someday.”

Who else has been to Italy? What did you L❤️VE about it?
