Quote of the Day
"Do I really want to be spending the next five years of my career doing what I'm doing now?
If you're on the right entrepreneurial path, the answer to that question is a no-brainer. If you're on the wrong path, the answer is difficult--but it's the first step toward defining your promising future. That can be very exciting."
(Brett Steenbarger)
