WBW Month In Review: September 2009

Dr. Vivian Sarabia said in her WBW video, "You never plan when you get sick." It speaks of the ticking death sentence we all have, making the decisions and actions we take all the more important. So that when the time comes, we'd have had no regrets. In this WBW Month In Review, the Buffs talk about the importance of having a vision of who you want to be and taking baby steps to get there, the challenge of constant improvement not only of your venture but also of yourself, the excitement that is learning for life, and lastly, the undeniable link between personal passion and serving what others want - to make a profit - for real entrepreneurial happiness.
