One of the things I have had a hard time NOT noticing is that a lot of us end up where we are in life without a plan, very unintentionally.

For a long time, my path was very random, I would seize opportunity when it showed itself. I would start a job, get promoted a bit, get promoted again, and then get unhappy and leave

I learned a really valuable;e lesson last week, aside from a few tweets here and there, I took August 13-18 totally off. I haven’t done that in 12 years. Sure I’ve taken vacations and MANY business trips, but never totally unplugged! It was FANTASTIC! So inspiring and refreshing!

It’s easy to want to be like your mentors… hey you admire them, you learn from them…

But… until you learn to be you, until you learn to offer what you only can offer, based on your own original life and business experiences, you’ll really be a fraud….
