There are a lot of different archetypes (explorer, hero, lover, magician…), but I think the creator is particularly special right now, as we look for new ways to move forward in business and in life. And while it sounds a little lofty, really, the...

Often not a good idea. But what if you can chew more than you think? What if you can start it all at once? If you went all in, could you finish it in three weeks, instead of three months? Step by step is usually a smart choice, but a lot of times we see...
