My Personal Facebook Business

Steve Farber

“It’s not personal; it’s just business.” –Too Many People. I’ve always felt that the lines we draw between business life and personal life are mostly artificial.

How to Take a Productive Yet Refreshing Vacation

Harvard Business Review

Some people will bristle at the seemingly oxymoronic notion of a “productive vacation.” But as an entrepreneur for the past decade, if I’m going to take a vacation at all, it needs to be productive – otherwise, without the safety net of paid vacation days and coworkers to cover for me, I might as well keep working.
