Just before Thanksgiving, I started thinking about thankfulness and gratitude, as is expected for this time of year. I started to write a post about it so I could post it for Thanksgiving. Then, the day before Thanksgiving... we lost power and it...
Does the idea of having to compete for someone's business make you so nervous that you would rather not know if they are? Are you convinced that you are going to deliver such an awesome proposal that there is no way they would say no? Have you ever...
