You’re working too much! You’re working too hard! And you’re not earning enough for the amount of time and effort you’re putting into this thing you call your profession or vocation. I’m not sure exactly where the idea of working hard for your money came from, but...
What happens when you just don’t want to do it anymore? What happens when you’ve lost your mojo? What do you do when the love is gone? No, I’m not talking about your personal relationships, I’m talking about your work and business and, ultimately, what we’re...

Here we are again my friends, the end of another rotation around the sun. That time of year when we get to spend some quality time with family and friends, reflect on the prior year, and imagine what the year ahead might have in store.
