Where’s My Hat, What’s My Hurry?
I'm astounded by people "fleeing" a development experience hours early in order to catch their ride home. They're leaving possibly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go back to where they spend 90% of their time. It's not going to ruin your
Is Time On Your Side?
"I don't have time" is the dumbest excuse in the world. Of course you have time (and so do your prospects). We all have 24 hours every day. The question is what you do with your time. If you see your
