On the business front… Strategy: Yes, our clients are our bread and butter. Take some time to rethink your strategy and go after clients that allow you to thrive and to whom you can provide the most value (and who appreciate your talents and pay for them!).

Marshall Goldsmith : I don’t specifically work in the area of strategy or leadership, but my work often affects those areas as what I do is help people change behavior. Social media expands my reach and influence and allows me help people I would not otherwise interact with in a meaningful fashion.

In fact, there are some very bright people who believe you cannot become a good leader without developing a mastery for using the word no as evidenced by the following quote from Tony Blair: “The art of leadership is saying no , not saying yes.” Great leaders help people get to a yes - in other words, they teach them how not to receive a no.
