“Your job will be to go out and salt the earth that your competitor walks on, destroy their market share and pour boiling oil over them.”, he said. Are we expected to buy into this adversarial business life philosophy?
Fire Junkies
The lifelong romance – the friend that will stick with us through thick and thin – the championship team that exceeds everyone’s expectations. So many of us struggle with a mind of lack, which not only leads us to miss much of the greatness already in our lives but also drives us to chase phantoms.
