Stumbled across this gif the other day. Perhaps it’s not accurate for you, but it’s sure accurate everyday for me. And it’s OK to say I have no idea what I’m doing, but I’m also going to do everything I can to make it work.
MoreFor a long time, sales was a mystery to me. I didn’t understand it. And every time I’d worked with a salesperson, I felt like I needed to take a shower. But as I got more into business, you realize that the reason sales people give you the creeps is probably because they are bad […]
MoreA Day is a Mini Lifetime – Zig Ziglar The time you spend in a day is a microcosm of how you spend your life. Work is important and valuable, but is that how you want to spend your life? Even worse, is the time you (and I) spend on social media, watching TV, or […]
MoreWhen you work together with two people, it’s often the default to assume you want the same things out of the project.
