Launching my new blog in a few hours!! #bloglaunch #dayone I remember sitting in Starbucks feeling anxious, excited, and sick all at the same time.  It was a way of putting myself out there unlike anything I had ever done.

I have hired employees for almost 18 years now.  In fact, I hired my wife to work for me.  That's right, I used to be my wife's boss!!  She hated me...  She tells the story often that I was the worst boss she ever worked for...she may be right! It was back in 1997 and we […]
