Are you living your dream or somebody else’s? How’s that for hitting you square in the forehead today? I heard this question over the weekend, and it took my breath away a little bit. It reminded me of a conversation I recently had with a plumber who was at my house fixing a water geyser…
Do you ask for help when you need it? Or are you like me, and a lot of entrepreneurs… and you’re just really bad at it? I’d go so far as to say a lot of us suck at it! How much time and energy do you waste trying to figure things out for yourself?…
