Practical Steps to Success #8: Recognize the Dance of Destruction
I met with a client a few months ago; we discussed his business, his trials and setbacks. His long term goals were very vague. He was more interested in immediate ‘cash flow’ right now than planning and saving for the future. After talking for about two hours, he decided to ‘give it one more year’.

Victorian Balloon Back Chairs: Can they turn into Clutter?
Built in the 1860’s these chairs support an amazing history of the pre-industrial era. Retracing their history; the tree was grown in England, harvested at its prime and destined for its purpose of being admired and ‘sat-upon’ by the elite.

Practical Steps for Success # 5: The Vision
When you were younger, did you ever wonder about the future? Did you ever figure that you would end up where you are now? Some kids knew exactly what they wanted to be. And others just fell into the work force.
Many people, including me, had to find a back-up plan more than once. It is never too late to plan.

First world food comes to Third World country:
