Bring on 2017
Happy New Year! Here's to the end of 2016. For some it's saying goodbye to a great year - and to others, it's the hope that this year will outweigh the last. For me, it's both. I'm stepping out of a year that was, most definitely, one of the best years of my life. I … Continue reading Bring on 2017
The “Trust” Factor
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: We live in a world of instant gratification. No one wants to work for anything. And if it doesn't happen RIGHT NOW, then it isn't worth having.
