Do you ever have ideas, but find excuses to not execute on them? Despite launching and collaborating on many World Changing ideas, I’m very guilty of this. Some of the excuses are of course legitimate. People might not need or want it. We might not be ready. Better/shinier things will always come up. The problem… Continue Reading
