Day #6: Identify 1 to 2 key mentors who you would like to have in your life. Day #6 everyone! Here’s the latest food for thought from Natalie.

I’m an adult, so that makes me free from my parents (and free to eat as many cookies as I please). I’m an entrepreneur, making me free of an 9 to 5 profession. Also, I live in Japan, free from many […]
