As a business professional, it’s imperative that you successfully manage your calendar. If you don’t have control of your calendar — you don’t have control of your life. Loss-of-life-control shows up in the form of missed deadlines and the anxiety that comes from constantly having to play catch-up. Tasks that should have already been completed […]
I have no regrets about being an entrepreneur. Chasing my dreams and starting my own business was the best decision I ever made. That’s not to say that it’s always been easy.

Besides helping me unplug, books are the best way for me to become a more knowledgeable, inspired, and motivated leader.
