There’s such a wide-open space of careers that you can pretty much do anything you want with your life. But you won’t have the career you want if you make the same mistake I see people make over and over again. And it doesn’t matter what you do. I’ve seen passionate people and people who […]

Money doesn’t buy happiness, but having the right amount of money and earning it the right way can give you the next best thing to ‘happiness’ – peace of mind. Money has whatever context you give to it. People talk about money as if it has an opinion or as if it’s some sentient entity. It’s […]
