Time Management: Prioritize. Begin.
Recently my own words – Prioritize. Begin. – hit me like a bolt of lightning. Have you ever been hit (figuratively, not literally) completely out of the blue? Of course, you have.

It’s All About Your Audience, Your Customer!
I want to talk about your audience. Your customer.
