Life Plan

Design your plan based on your best judgment. Refine your plan as your judgment improves.

Paid by the Hour

You don't get paid for the hour. You get paid for the value you bring to the hour. - Jim Rohn

Competent Imagination

Competence is not the same thing as imagination. - Seth Godin


And to a certain extent they are mutually exclusive. It takes both kinds but when you find the one who has both - hire them.
