Calm Seas Don’t Make Good Sailors – #APAutomation – #Fintech – #Sales
.
I am late to the Walking Dead movement, so I made a pledge that I would catch up thought Netflix while riding my bike. Don’t worry it was a stationary bike. I was well into achieving my goal when I came across an episode where the crew was in a prison and in the beginning of the…

My youngest daughter recently lost her two front teeth just in time for Christmas. As I was trying to figure out what to write about this week, I thought of “wanting more” (like teeth) and what that means in selling. More? When I was younger and first starting out the “more” that I wanted was…
