Chicken List ~ the people you are scared to call. There are 2 things going on when you think in terms of a chicken list. #1 You are not owning your own value. Instead of an equal sign between you and that person, there is a less than sign pointing at you and […]

When you take a break, does your break actually energize and recharge you? For most people the answer to that question is usually “no”.
