Five years or five minutes? I’ve recently been trying to follow the idea that if it’s not going to matter in five years, I shouldn’t spend more than five minutes worrying about it. This is a hard one for me, because I can get worked up about things so easily and so quickly. But I realized that one of the things I would regret most as I got older was… continue reading.
What’s Your Mission Statement and Why You Want One
Napoleon Hill called it your “definite purpose” and now we call it a mission statement. It’s mostly used by business to define the mission of the brand or business.

Following a Dream to Paris – The Long Way
We went to the Louis Vuitton Time Capsule in Toronto to celebrate the anniversary of Louis Vuitton coming to Canada! What I loved about this more than all the beautiful items was the story behind Louis Vuitton’s journey to success. He left his small hometown at 13 years old and set out for Paris. It took him over two years to get there are he worked to earn money and… continue reading.
