Discover the World Around You with Trover
Some women seek retail therapy at a mall, however if you’re a techie nerd like me you find a balance between the malls, electronic stores, and maybe even the app store on your phone.

Work ON Your Social Media, Not In It
I had the opportunity to see Michael E. Gerber, the author of the E-Myth, speak the other day. I have read his book, but hearing him speak was a entirely different experience.

A woman was cycling in the middle of a 300 acre forest and went flying over her handlebars. She was unable to walk and knew that she was all alone. To make matters worse, there wasn’t a cell phone close enough to call 911, but she did have enough signal left to send a tweet.
