    I Think “Should” is Over Rated

    I have lead pretty much the last decade of my career doing what I felt I “should” be doing. I should be going to meetings. I should be selling. I should be networking. Recently I have had a change of heart. I’ve decided to make a withdrawal from SageRock. Not a money withdrawal as much…

There are plenty of theoretical…
