Yesterday I had a wonderful conversation with a new client. I’ll be reformatting some of his existing books into Amazon’s Kindle ebooks for him, but most of our fascinating 3-plus hour conversation was spent on thoughts and ideas about life itself. At one point he told me a wonderful story about his first venture into [...]
New Year’s resolutions are a big disappointment to just about everybody. Many get made, but few are achieved. The main reason: there’s such a long incubation period between conception and birth.
