Here’s what I published this week and a few stories by others that I enjoyed

It’s been a busy week and I haven’t had much time to write and post on Medium. I was only able to write this piece on four magic words.

A few of my previous articles that are worth another look:

Another piece on the same topic with some different illustrations:

On finding the true source of innovation and vision for your business:

Some articles I enjoyed reading this week:

I wonder if giving books instead of greeting cards would ever catch on. Christopher Kokoski has some good advice for authors struggling with marketing their books.

I know so many delightful women named Karen. EllenEastwood says everything I’ve thought about this trend of using names as insults.
