Writing articles is one of the top 5 marketing tools I used when I first started my business 10 years ago and it’s one I continue to use today.  Why do I love it so much?  It’s free, I can leverage the information and use it in several places and it allows me to give [...]

Whatever tasks we do, we should make sure, that we accomplish each one of them as if they were great and noble responsibilities. Aggregate of small and noble tasks can mean accomplishing a big task. You have to hack small branches, before you can strike at the root, to cut down a big tree. Do [...]

Embarrassment is the proudest virtue of a loser! – Sundararaman Viswanathan “At least to my knowledge.” “In my humble opinion.” “If I am not wrong.” “Hope you don’t mind.” Every day, we are faced with a typical situation where in we hide behind these phrases.
