A good friend of mine was recently accepted into a prestigious business program at Cambridge University in England. She’s currently living in NYC and working at an advertising agency that she’s been with for almost a year now.

Did you ever hear the saying: “Everything happens for a reason” Or what about: “There are no accidents in life.”

The year is coming to an end and 2007 awaits our businesses. This is a great time to reflect on what you’ve done with your business this year.
