It took my a long time to really put myself out there and be confident that I had a good product. But when I did, I felt so much pride in what I had to offer!

Many of us get so busy in our days, that we don’t make enough time for such support. But, when you get it, and you are able to give it, a whole wave of positive energy starts. THIS is the “good stuff,” the little things, that I refer to. Thank you for leading by example, and reminding us that pride and praise are symbiotic. You’ve got my attention regarding “Different.” Let’s definitely connect on that.

I find your words inspiring, your writing captivating, and your attitude–profound. Thank you for this piece.
And I hope to read more. Your attitude reminds me of something I read from one of my favorite business authors: Youngme Moon. One of the most inspiring and helpful parts of her book: “Different” for me, was her experiment while running and teaching the MBA program at Harvard. Glad lad to share more about parallels or discuss if your are interested.
