starting grows starting-a-business
Once you start a business, you have to grow it and grow with it - starting a business is not just for Christmas.
hair necks internet
I attend Internet conferences all the time, and they literally make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
mother kids home
I think I'm a better mother because of work, because I'm happy. If I wasn't working, I would just be waiting for the kids to come home every day, and living vicariously through their lives.
attitude party negotiation
Always go into meetings or negotiations with a positive attitude. Tell yourself you're going to make this the best deal for all parties.

opportunity thinking luck
