Incredible gift idea that will melt hearts & score major points
It's approaching the Holiday Season, and time for you to think about gifts for the people in your life.
A music group that are friends of mine are offering something so unique and inspiring as a gift that I just HAD to share with you! I've rarely, if ever, heard of this until now.
They write and record custom songs for couples, special occasions, celebrations, holidays, graduations, and ANYTHING Else!
Then they can create a CD out of it, include a "platinum album" music industry plaque with
engraved song lyrics, and they can even sing your personal song live at your wedding,
engagement, anniversary, birthday, etc.
They also write songs for speakers, authors, and businesses to inspire their employees
and clients!
I thought you may want to give your partner, family, and/or friend/s, the surprise of their lives!
You will be so touched when you read their testimonials.
My friends told me that they have only a few spots left for anyone wanting to order a custom song within the next few weeks.

Pensions are going away. Your investments and retirement plans are up to YOU.
Happy October! We're entering the last quarter of 2017 (whoa), so now it's time to level up and give the end of the year your best effort! Below are some articles from the past week or so that should help you level up.
I've had 5 or 6 (depending on classification) career changes in my life. If you're in the Generation X camp, read this post.
I was fortunate in the previously mentioned career changes, that my former employers hired me, when I had limited or zero industry experience. I've hired people that have had no experience, because I knew they would grow and learn.
