I recently left my home of four years; I left where everything was familiar, surrounded by 50,000 people my age with similar interests.  Now I live in a new city where I know about 4 people.  The truth is: it kind of sucks.  However, I know that I have to adapt, and adapt fast.  I […]

As my friends took the last ten days to venture to Cancun, Jamaica, Acapulco, and the Caribbean, I went to work.
That’s right, I used my spring break, the same way that I used my winter break. I used it as an opportunity to get away from school, to try and make some money and […]

It wasn’t until recently that I realized how much more sales can be, and how it can affect every aspect of your business and your life.

All too often I find myself being asked by my friends, “how did you get that job” or “how did you meet (insert big shot name here).” It isn’t the question that I find amusing; it’s the astonishment that seems to be associated with the inquiry. It’s almost like they’re saying, “You’re lucky you […]
