Be Careful Who You Take Medical Advice from Online
These days everyone is an expert and they are quick to attempt to show the world just how much the know, but in reality they aren’t qualified to provide the advice they are offering up. There are no regulations in terms of fact checking online. Anyone can post anything. Anyone can upload a YouTube video that proclaims the Earth to be a flat triangle. Sadly, there will always be some people that believe if they see it on the internet it must be true. While some topics are harmless, some, like health and medicine for example, are topics that you really need to only discuss with true professionals. The internet…

This made me sit back and realize that we truly do have unlimited potential. Every single one of us. Whatever it is that will make you happy or whatever it is that you…

I have been an avid eBayer (is that even a word?) since the beginning, so I am always checking out other options. I’ve noticed some…

How to Scale Your Office Working with a Limited Budget
Traditional office settings are not as common as they once were, mainly due to a lot of companies operating virtually in an effort to save money. While it’s appealing, it’s just not possible for some businesses to have a remote team. For those that have a traditional office setting and are needing to expand, but are limited by a small budget it can be very difficult. I’ve seen great companies stall their growth because they couldn’t afford to allocate money to their office growth. You can always take on debt, but that can backfire.
