Other Added - The Seven Deadly Sins of Management
The Brand or You
If you are going to promote relationships, make sure you understand it is the brand that you are pushing and not you personally, you are only the vehicle. (Unless it is you that is the brand). A brand gives people something to connect with when you attend a networking event. When someone says they work for Clorox, then you immediately know what they produce and sell.

An Upgrade is Usually Worse, At First

The new home has a door that jams, a roof that leaks, a window or floorboard that squeaks.No one intends an ‘upgrade’ to start o
