Attention is a Precious Commodity
Just about everything in the world can be compared to business. When it comes to the things that have value, there are some things that are abundant and easy to come by and thus, even when demand is very high, economies of scale allow us to keep the price down to a reasonable level. On […]

Great Expectations…and Being Ok With Not Meeting Them
The world today is full of idealists. Most people have a grand idea of how they want their lives to turn out and a vague plan on how to get there, but very few of us end up living out the dreams of our youth. It is a mathematical truth that in a world of […]
