Who do you want to be like when you grow up? Tell her, and if she’s not already, ask her to mentor you. This doesn’t have to be a formal relationship where she downloads all her knowledge to you on Tuesday afternoons, it can be as simple as taking a walk together and asking her... Continue Reading →
Catalog and direct sales companies send them out for a reason. If she just opens it once, she will see what her life could be.....
