In life and business is there a difference between gifts and talents? My answer is YES. Gifts are given to us from God. Gifts come without thought and with very little effort in most cases. We are born with our gifts. Those gifts should be used in our business. Talents are a bit different and we can learn to be good at a particular thing or two. Don't mistake your gifts from your talents. Lay your eggs in the basket of gifts and your business will seek the fruit of labor. Comment below! [...]

Your business will need a tune-up from time to time and new plays to remain competitive. Maintenance also requires fresh eyes.

As a business is being maintained it will require all processes to be reviewed and the majority of the time the [...]

Are you a boss? This question is easy for most of us to answer because we are natural leaders. However, I will say this, a boss knows when to listen, when to speak, and when to follow. Being a boss is not all about being the leader in every movement. A real boss knows when to lead and when to follow. A real boss knows and understands that they will never know it all. A real boss is always learning and growing. I like to think of a real boss as someone who Builds up their team, provides Opportunities for [...]
