You never have to do life or business alone -- not even if you're a member of the introvert family (like me and thousands of financial advisors )!

Creativity doesn't happen in a vacuum nor does it happen when you're busy 24/7. It's a running joke with my staff, who know when I'm taking a trip on the ferry, boat, or somewhere different. I send them some very interesting articles, concepts, or new programs soon afterwards.
