One of the most fundamental human needs is the need to belong. Noted psychologist, Abraham Maslow, identified it as one of the five basic needs. We want to be part of a group and to feel loved and accepted by others. That is, […]

I met a self-made, multi-millionaire for drinks and dinner last night. Chris is the owner, CEO and principal engineer for a private software company that nets 20 million dollars a year in profit.
