I have no regrets about being an entrepreneur. Chasing my dreams and starting my own business was the best decision I ever made. That’s not to say that it’s always been easy. I’ve had businesses fail, sacrificed relationships, and had to deal with daily challenges. Handling upset customers or motivating employees are the smaller situations […]
Do you feel like you never have enough time in a day? Are deadlines constantly sneaking-up on you? Do you have a reputation for double-booking appointments? This has happened to all of us at one time or another. Instead of continuing to live this way — it’s time to learn how to manage your time […]
57.3 million people. That’s how many freelancers there are in the U.S. However, by 2017, it’s expected that the majority of the workforce will be made-up of freelancers. In fact, 47 percent of millennials are already freelancing. That’s all well and good. But, how does this large percentage of worker becoming freelancers impact you as […]
I recently caught up with an old friend. The first thing he asked was, “How are things goin’?” I replied, “Busy.” That “busy” response was automatic, and I’d even say it’s probably the most common response anyone would receive from entrepreneurs and professionals. For me, the statement also happens to be true, and my team members […]
Never underestimate the power of time management. Without it, you’ll miss deadlines, deliver sub-par work, gain a bad reputation, increase your stress levels, and fail to achieve a work-life balance.

We all want to be more productive. You can’t just wish to become a productive person — and have it suddenly happen. It takes time, discipline, and motivation, sometimes in the form of productivity quotes. What if you have no discipline? What if you are not motivated? Time is in short supply — is time […]
Despite more tools and technology — productivity can still be a struggle to achieve in work and in life. Work/life balance can be illusive and hard to achieve — let alone to maintain. Every thought, emotion, introspection and life event has to be dealt with — all while working towards gaining your work/life balance. In […]
I don’t know about you. But, my favorite part of a new year is the new reads I get to consume. Besides helping me unplug, books are the best way for me to become a more knowledgeable, inspired, and motivated leader. While there is no shortage of fantastic leadership books already available, here are the […]
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Americans spend more than eight hours a day in the workplace — which is more than we sleep each night. That means that we’re spending more time with our colleagues than we do with our families. As a result, it’s only natural that they’re going to influence our […]
When I started my own business one of the most challenging obstacles I had to overcome was creating a schedule for success. It’s not like we have to adhere to the traditional nine to five workday. Some days I would arrive at seven am, while other days I would come in later by staying well […]
