Don’t miss Seth Godin’s Blog today Modern Procrastination.
I’ve fallen victim to this… But usually I challenge the Status Quo. In fact I now no longer acknowledge the existence of it… Food for thought. Short read. Seth is always brilliant. Read his new book “Linchpin” if you want to really make a difference or of you [...]

This brilliant post by Seth Godin applies to many industries/sectors.

Think in terms of your own gig while you are reading it.

I never really believed in the status quo.
Smiles,
Donna

I don’t make a [...]
