Today I started a project that will allow me to take over the world – or at least the publishing world – or at least my corner of my own little world – okay, it is really a plan that will allow me to take a step closer to my desired success. I have had…
“He’s down there again.” Jeannie’s neighbor stood by their dorm window and looked down at the quad below. He was sitting at a picnic table, right under the street light. He had his back to the dorm, but it still felt like he was watching. Jeannie did not even bother to get up. “I’m getting…

[tweetthis]Success begins and ends with relationships. [/tweetthis] The amount of time and effort I invest in others will directly determine the place I land in my journey to success.
