I was going through some study material on business management, when I came across a section that discussed management mindsets. In a nutshell, the author talked about how many businesses seem content on operating with mindset geared towards maintaining a working system.

After nearly 5 years of negotiating deals and closing sales, one would think I'd get the hang of the whole sales thing much sooner than later. Apparently not.Just like today.Long story short, the deal was 95% done when the plug got pulled.

There are people out there who put so much weight on the use a particular title when people refer to them.

I happened to flip over to the promotional clips for the Summer Olympics.
