Habits of Self-Made Millionaires
If you are looking to pursue your wildest dreams and live an opulent, luxurious lifestyle, it is important to cultivate the habits of self-made millionaires. The wealthiest of individuals in the world worked behind the scenes of their success to acquire their wealth. They understood that one must do something different from the masses to become wealthy.

Excellence is an act but a habit.” If you want to live life on your own terms where money is no option, you have to mirror the habits of self-made millionaires.

Is a Focus on Employee Well-Being Revolutionizing American Work Culture?
Stress. Burnout. Exhaustion. These may be some of the first words that come to mind when you hear the word “work.” For many Americans, weekdays are spent counting down to Friday, and weekends are spent dreading Monday. Paid family leave isn’t mandated, and vacation time is handed out much less generously than in other industrial nations. Meals are consumed while hunched over a desk.

What Great Leaders Do Differently
I have always asked myself what separates great leaders from those who aren't titled the same. When great leaders do things right, they inspire people working with them, but great leadership does not just come on a platter. A true leader is noteworthy and someone to be observed in action. They have exemplary characteristics that stand out. Not everyone is a natural born leader but everyone has the capacity to be a great leader. There is no one formula for great leadership but there are some things that great leaders do differently that clearly place them in a category all their own.

Female Engineers with Powerful Careers Are Here to Stay
Powerful female engineers deliver a promise of change, progress and equity in the workforce. Historically, women haven’t had the means or the ways to advance careers in engineering or technology. Today, women no longer need to take a backseat in the tech world. While still heavily male dominated, a growing number of techy women have emerged full force and are leading a new generation of engineers. They’ve placed themselves in uncomfortable situations, institutions where they felt different, classes where they felt marginalized, and work environments that felt hostile. Yet these women have persevered as beacons of hope for our future generations.

We are so focused on work, on getting things done, that we’ve changed the way we eat, move and sleep in a way that is actually counter-productive.
