Facebook went all Britney Spears on me. They took away my ability to control my business and they told me, “Oops, you did it again.” Yep. I did. I posted something that went against their community standards and I have been blocked from Facebook. But luckily it’s not for long. Today I’m going to talk…
I have a question for you… How do you eat an elephant? Common wisdom says one bite at a time. But it makes me think, why would you want to eat an elephant? They’re big and believe it or not, they’re hairy, and that’s a lot of eating. But that would be something we know…
