Giving up isn’t the same as moving on!
Should I just give up? I test lots of things for one year. If at that time it is not the success I had planned for, I typically stop spending time and money there and move on to the next opportunity.

I give more examples of what this looks like in this episode. Episode #685 October 11, 2019 Hi, this is Dan Miller – and yes … Read More

Don’t chase the snake of revenge
If you feel like someone has done you wrong, don’t seek revenge – listen in. How often I see people chasing the snake and seeking revenge in their own lives. The company folds or you just simply get laid off. The immediate reaction may include anger, resentment, bitterness, and backstabbing. These lead to discouragement, frustration, guilt and depression.
