Consider balance as you juggle your business and family life.

I talk about Going against the grain and recognizing trends. Going left when others are going right. Getting in when others are getting out. Charting your own path and being brave. I also unpack my talk with the one and only Paul Neuberger – The Cold Call Coach.

Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer.” –Nolan Bushnell, entrepreneur.
