P.S. Those that know me, understand that there's not much that excites me more than helping a fellow entrepreneur grow their business! I am passionate about sharing my resources, knowledge, and elite connections in order to build businesses cooperatively.

I do this by receiving referrals from people like you. Who do you know that is a business owner who wishes to grow with strength & velocity?

Yeah, it's disappointing when we realize this about ourselves. But I happen to find the way it all comes together beautiful - perhaps in a sick sort of way. :)

Hahahaha... This is so true! And the list of places where "crowd wisdom" goes awry is ridiculously numerous- sports shoes, summer clothes, health and medicine. And many big corps out there are capitalizing on this mass ignorance effect.
