When I was ten, I was pretty angry and if you ask me, rightfully so. My mom was in jail. My dad had remarried and as a result there was very little peace in my home. I will save you my sob story and just say there wasn’t much to get excited about. Enter Mrs. […]
The next time you are with three friends, I want you to do me a favor: look to the left, then to the right. One of them is bound to be what I like to call an Incredible SNATCHER™. You know, those who have been sent to negate all talent and confidence that has been […]
At some point in time upon realizing that you’ve been bit by the entrepreneurial bug, you can expect this to happen: Your friends will suddenly appear like aliens, who speak a different language and no longer understand who you are and what you desire to do with your life.
