I’ve been thinking a lot about the time I spent in NYC when I was an acting student. I learned a lot of lessons about the theatre business that can directly relate to the entrepreneurial world and life in general. If you want to learn how to stand out in your field,...
In the personal growth world, we talk a lot about gratitude. I write about gratitude often myself. But too much gratitude can be too much of a good thing. Being too grateful can keep you from your dreams. When you are down on your luck or at an in-between place in...
