Let me explain … ALL entrepreneurial growth consists of taking opportunities/unused capabilities and unused resources and putting the two together in a NEW way, therefore pushing the frontier of human ambition and capability into the future in such a way that you have a FREE ZONE.

I went through a phase in my life where, when I woke up, I didn’t feel like me. I was anxious and depressed, and I didn’t know what it was. The way I interpret it now is that the universe was saying, “It’s time to reinvent your life.”
