Tip Of The Week: What Others Need To Support Your Goals
One of the biggest revelations for entrepreneurs is that moment when you realize leadership doesn’t mean telling other people what to do, or even how to do it.

Quotable Coach: Aim Beyond Passion
It’s great for people to be involved in projects that they’re excited about and personally “into.” But when people feel that what they’re doing has meaning — has a purpose — they’ll stick with it long after the excitement fades.
