The Danger of Self Employment

I’m self employed. I have been for a few months. At first I was a hustler. My survival and ability to eat depended on my ability to work hard and innovate. But I’ve finally reached a point of comfort. I’m making a sustainable living. And now I find myself drawn into TV programs, video games,…

The Best Jobs

Lately I’ve found myself becoming a headhunter. Folks keep approaching me with positions they need filled and see if I know someone right for the job. So I approach a few folks I network with and float it around. It’s pretty fun connecting folks to new job opportunities. But this is something I’ve noticed in…
