Read MoreStay Sticky: A Concept I'm HUGE On
READ “Staying Sticky” means always giving others a reason to want to work with you AND never giving others a reason NOT to work with you. I’m huge on this concept. It’s not easy to understand how to do, or how to execute, but it starts with thinking about always providing the most value and…
