When I was little (okay, to this day) people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I hate that question. It doesn’t have any real strategy behind it. The question we should ask is what do you want to do when you grow up. This is a question that makes you think. This is a question that has goals, ideas and achievements. For example,...

In January, I talked about creating a social media strategy that works for me – how often I do certain things and the schedule I try to keep.
