When the caterpillar becomes a butterfly, there is a stage in it’s metamorphosis where it is completely liquified. It is a “nutritive soup of enzymes.” Entirely unrecognizable. You can’t tell what it was, or what it will become. Soup. More
Dear Danielle,
“Can I ask a question? I love working for myself and don’t want it any other way, but it seems that when you work for yourself you have to be a salesperson. I’m not a huge fan of sales people and hate feeling like I’m pushing something on someone. If you have any opinions on that I’d love to hear them!” More

To increase your earnings…

Some people will drive a mile out of their way to save a buck. Some of us have it delivered. The “value of a dollar” depends on the spender. The value you place on money is hugely driven by emotion.
