What Makes a Successful Multipotentialite?

Everybody wants success. And (nearly) everybody wants cake. Simple, right? Bake a cake, achieve some success… everybody’s happy.

I like to end and begin most years by looking back and looking forward. That makes this my official “infamous goal-setting post” of 2017. Looking Back on 2016 I know a lot of us are grateful to leave 2016 behind. The social and political climate has obviously had an impact on my life, but that’s not what I’m going […]
