Quick update: packing my bags for the Conscious Investors Summit in Idaho. But before I go, I want to share a little nugget with you. See, I wasn't always into entrepreneurship.

And once I started playing to my strengths, everything changed. So, ask yourself: are you playing a game you can win, and more importantly, one yo...
