Decision Making Tips for Business and Personal Choices

It just occurred to me that sometimes, the way that a person conducts himself or herself in his or her business can be quite different from the way that same person conducts himself or herself in his or her personal life.

I gather information, weigh my options (briefly and logically), and commit to a course of action. Believe it or not, the decisions that I have trouble making are … Continue reading →

The kids would play with friends or each other while I developed a new interest. That interest was blogging. Normally, I enjoyed being active in the summer but growing a blog is hard work. It was work I enjoyed so much that I … Continue reading →
