You’re running a business, you have enough clients and everything is going well. It’s exciting and you love your life. Until one of your clients, maybe even your biggest clients files for bankruptcy. You’re in shock. You don’t know what to do. Well, start reading this. It happened to me thrice (!). Yep, three times.

Other than, I get to travel if I have it. That’s why money matters. As a traveler, it’s important, unfortunately.

One sure-fire to work your way up the corporate ladder is to improve your skillset. Businesses don’t hand out promotions and they only pick the best of the best. Before you can claim the title, you need to prove you are a strong and consistent performer in the office. As soon as you can, you will find that your career options improve markedly. If you don’t know where to start, here are a few places that I think will make a difference. (more…)
