Day 30: Be selfish! I was discussing with a dear friend, earlier this week, the necessity of being selfish if you truly want to achieve anything great with your life, and she said something along the lines of, “I don’t think of being selfish as the worst thing anymore. But when I was growing it,…

31Ways2GetItStarted™!: Day 22 Watching high-lights of the presidential inauguration this am at the gym, I was really struck by what amazing times we are living in. You disagree?
