Welcome to Strictly Business
Communications Global in Leadership The Worldwide!

Hey *|FNAME|*. Perhaps you were at Haas Vegas and perhaps you weren't. Perhaps you are a sleep-deprived zombie with newly developing liver toxicity and perhaps you aren't. Either way, we're gonna take a slightly different turn from our normal SB intro and highlight one of the "top five regrets of the dying" (according to Australian hospice nurse Bronnie Ware) so that we can all keep our priorities straight. (1) "I wish I hadn't worked so hard – [Working people] deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of work existence". So if you're not working too hard – you're probably doing it right.  You can read the rest here.
