W

 This is a guest post courtesy of Lior (thanks for an AWESOME contribution) and why your current market research may not be entirely accurate. Due to the increasing rise of social media channels, your right people may want something slight different than what you are positioned to offer them and you wouldn’t know it unless you knew they may have somewhat dueling personalities. As in their...

Stuck Like Chuck and Breaking That Dam to Pieces

S

We all have our moments of feeling ‘stuck on stupid’. You know.
