What LINCOLN Taught Us About Business (And Life)
Today, February 12th, is Abraham Lincoln’s birthday, which brings me to LINCOLN the movie.

My 2013 Bucket List: What’s On Yours?

Why I Don’t Make New Year’s Resolutions
Did you make New Year’s resolutions for 2013? Apparently 50% of Americans do, yet 88% of those resolutions fail. I’ve never been a big fan of New Year’s resolutions.
