15 Minutes of Focus- Do You Believe?

If you seek glory, you are looking for the wrong thing.  Especially in startup.

It’s not in the glory of victory that you find yourself.  It’s the times of darkness.  It’s through the trials and on that last mile where you build your character and become who you are.

15 Minutes of Focus- The Sweet Feeling of Success

This applies to meetings, emails, action items, ANYTHING.

Prioritize.  Without priority, wheels keep spinning, and nothing gets [...]

Entrepreneurship.  Sexy, right?  Kinda.
