I AM SANDRINE’S DAUGHTER

As some of you have suspected, I’ve been up to something! And it’s a new book!

In that chapter, I speak about the power of words and the importance of affirmations. If you are going to accomplish greatness … Read More I AM SANDRINE’S DAUGHTER

Your Boss is Getting Richer, Isn’t He?

Even with one-third of Americans being one paycheck away from homelessness, entrepreneurship is a much more dreadful option—and for a valid reason too. 99% of startup businesses are bound to fail. So 9 to 5 ers are afraid to leave the comforts of their “oh-so-cozy” cubicle jobs that offer unlimited red-bull in the break room, no matter how much instability it brings—never enough money … Read More Your Boss is Getting Richer, Isn’t He?
