I think it's easy to believe that making decisions constantly is an exhausting exercise. From the outside it may seem like the choices necessary when starting a business, which are required constantly - what products to buy, who to buy from, where to buy them, would be completely draining.

Lucky! In the right place at the right time walking on broken glass.
A couple of months ago when I was in NYC with the girls, I received a text message with a photo attached.
