Not everyone is cut out to be a business owner. My fear is that people who start businesses may end up underpaid, overworked, and with a business that lacks value.

Delegation is key to success and happiness, allowing tasks to be assigned to capable individuals. Being an entrepreneur requires making hard decisions and understanding one's strengths and weaknesses, while some may find fu...

Life is a numbers game. Like in dating, when you're getting into the game, your goal is to see as many people as possible and market yourself to the dating pool. The more dates you have, the more opportunities you'll have to find the one. As you continue dating, what you want in a relationship becomes clearer, and as a result, you start to see and filter out the good and bad dating opportunities that are presented to you, focusing on the quality rather than the quantity. In this episode of Sweat...

The reasons why the best employees might dislike their job could be diverse and complex, but two reasons that I notice are: #1: Indecisiveness from above - a boss that doesn’t make decisions or take quick action. #2: Being surrounded by C players - colleagues who drag others down and coast along at work.
