TAKE THE LEAP

When the new year came in for 2018 there should’ve been a mind shift. Your mentality should have heightened and the worries and doubts about jobs and careers should have been nonexistent. If not, it is ok, this is the year to take leaps. If you are in career transition apply to the job you never thought you would apply to. If you have an idea for a business, research it, then start implementing. Maybe you are interested in going back to school to further your education to execute a job.
