- Book Review: The Sun Also Rises
In my younger and more vulnerable years, I thought Hemingway’s novels in were vapid, boring stories about worthless people leading ridiculous lives that contributed little or nothing to society. I’m ashamed to say that, in my late teens, I wrote this book off as “dumb.”
- Your Clothes Convey Your Attitude
The good thing about business dress is that a very small effort will instantly put you a class above the majority of your peers. You don’t have to wear tailored business suits or expensive Swiss watches. Simply being well-kempt and presentable is a great start.
- Practical Accounting 3 – What the Business Owns & What it Owes
Before we consider any accounting implications, write down a list of things you might need to start a business. These are all items that the business will own and that it will use to make money. Accountants group these things together and call them assets.
- Work is Better When You Aren’t Bored

However, accounting basics are quite straightforward, logical and accessible to anyone once the unnecessary complexities and jargon are stripped away.
- Build Trust for Better Work Assignments
I have a secret for you. Somewhere in the depths of your company, someone is doing work that is interesting, challenging, and rewarding. Work that has real world implications. All companies have someone(s) doing this, because your company is creating a product or rendering a service that some people deem valuable.
- Movie Review – Mississippi Grind (2015)
