John Norcross and Dominic Vangarelli, two guys that use your taxes to make research also focus on New Year’s resolutions. Look what they...
Among my conversations these last days in Spain is common to discuss about business. If you work for someone else, you’re not building your own business. You’re building someone else’s business. Making him, her, them, rich… because if you are in this newsletter, I know you work hard. Then, people want to create their business. Great. You think that business will eventually give you loads of freedom and money. But the reality is, what you’re actually building is your own maximum-security...
He’ll be president in hours and he wrote the email of today. “One thing we all need to remember is that a little effort is the best replacement for excuses. If we were all to make an effort to understand what’s going on around us, to make that quantum leap to using our higher, non-complacent minds, some lucid thinking might result.
