I don’t know about you, but I am one of the busiest people I know. I am networking. Drumming up ideas for two start ups. Meeting people who might be interested in working together.

Missing the Right Moment
As I see it, it takes (at least) three things to seize an opportunity in the right moment. In a split second, the moment can be lost. And although it didn’t seem like a big deal, it could have been the catalyst for your next career or life move. 3 Things For Seizing the Moment: 1. […]
