Hey, I created my first Apple Widget for Mac users the other day. It’s a work in progress that I’m getting ready to upload to Apple’s Widget site in the coming weeks.

You need to do some personal work and come up with some answers for yourself that will be the foundation for your relationship approach.  For myself, putting it quite simply, I typically look these unsuspecting Questioners in the eyes and say “as long as I’m winning!” Let me explain in more detail what sounds like a self-centered answer.

So, you’ve read all the “How To.......” books, you’ve done all the seminars to improve yourself, you’ve gone to Dale Carnegie to get a personality. You’ve done everything your employer has asked you to do and said they would pay for and then some. But guess what, work still bites doesn’t it? Why?
