For me, this meant that even though in my ramp-up period my business volume was low (not many customers), my revenue wasn’t, as there is somewhat of a direct relationship between employee … Read the rest of this entry »

To my astonishment, I got a B- in my Business Strategy case analysis paper! I am astonished because B- is a bonus for a school slacker like me. I procrastinated til’ the night … Read the rest of this entry »

Before writing this post, I was unhappy. A lot had happened in the hour since I woke up in the morning!
Then I said to myself, “If you’re going to write about always being happy, why not try out what you’re telling others to do?”
So I did. It worked. I felt happy.
And then, I sat down to write … Read the rest of this entry »
