How to Self-Promote Your Startup
All those entrepreneurs who are thinking about setting up their own business or who have already done so definitely have enough energy and enthusiasm and feel very positive about the whole endeavour. However, that alone will not turn their idea into a great success. Having a great product or service is never enough to make it in the business world.

It has been, for the last 10 years, a source of pride to say that I have worked for some of the world's biggest and best companies in engineering, heavy/oversized engineering, construction and utilities.

A lot of things cause us pain, but do we ever think about our passions causing us pain? Not really. Pain is mostly associated with physical pain and pain that has been caused by someone, love, etc. Hardly anyone talks about how passion can sometimes cause us pain as well as do good to us.
Comments from a Copy Editor: The One Grammar Mistake Everybody Makes
Which one is correct? What I can glean from years of copy editing is that most English-speaking humans believe words get capitalized because they are important.

Having been in radio for over 20 years now, I have accumulated my fair share of great radio stories. But, naturally, I have one story that I always tell. One story that is always my go to story when I want to get a laugh about the mores of my business and the silliest of silly ego battles. I have one story that I always tell when I am initiating my new employees and interns in the ways of our business.
