strategize.
One of the mantras that my clients create
during our work together is &#8217;support the
empire&#8217;.
Sounds like something straight out of Star
Wars, doesn&#8217;t it?
But really what it means is supporting the
lane that you&#8217;ve chosen with every new idea,
product or speech that you [...]]]></description>

aside from being excited, I&#8217;m especially
grateful for the benefits of being an
entrepreneur.
From the start of my business more than
6 years ago, I decided that I was going to do
things based on what was perfect for me.  It
