Career Ramblings

The weekend is almost here which means we need some inspirational quotes. Part of the reason we post quotes is to get our readers motivated to?put in some hard work and effort?and do the things they have thought about doing for years but have yet to act on. John Chow has a great post titled “Someday Never Comes”?which can be summed up by saying “A Goal Without A Time Limit Is No Goal”.? If you want to make a career change, get a higher paying position, start your own business, or take steps toward growing as an individual, this is the weekend to put your plan into action.? Here are some quotes:
