Check out the end of this blog—there’s a chance to win a free first chapter evaluation! I belong to a book club that meets monthly. I love it because as a group, we select books which I probably would not have chosen on my own. Like many people, I would otherwise stick to what I […]
I am actively working towards a less time-intensive professional life now. How about you? How is your entrepreneurial quality of life?
Today on this day in 1965, they published Alex Haley’s, The Autobiography of Malcolm X. I remember picking it up as a teenager.
