and it&#8217;s up to you to determine what that &#8220;life&#8221; produces. \u00a0I like to think of your life as the business you&#8217;re running. \u00a0In the last several posts, we&#8217;ve discussed who influences this business. \u00a0In other words, we&#8217;ve laid out the people who make up <a href=\"http:\/\/kerryaclark.com\/who-are-the-decision-makers-in-your-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">our executive team<\/a>. \u00a0They are <a href=\"http:\/\/kerryaclark.com\/the-people-who-help-make-me-great\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the people who help us execute<\/a> the best life we possibly can. \u00a0If you don&#8217;t have one, I recommend you review the last several posts and get one.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What we didn&#8217;t talk about or barely scratched the surface in our discussion was &#8220;the what&#8221;
