Commitment is one of those things there is total shortage. Too many individuals, companies, organizations… too many fail to commit fully to their activities, duties, obligations and responsibilities. They are not on board. They don’t feel real pain if something is not achieved. To acquire success is...
Your network is your net worth, and it’s shrinking… You wake up, check your phone. Get work done, on your laptop. Buy your groceries, with a click. Order lunch and dinner, from an app. Watch a movie, on a screen. Go to bed, after one last scroll. A day of life, and you seldom have to talk mouth hole to mouth hole.
