Yo, today's QOD is sometimes the only good things you will hear about you are the things that you say to you.

Here we go.

Thank you. Welcome back to the quarter of the day show. I'm your host, Sean Croxton and Sean Croxton.com. Happy Monday to you, my friend. We've got Les Brown on the show for your motivation Monday.
