Richard Branson on Office Ties and the Company Dress Code: Guest Post

America and the Value of 'Earned Success': Guest Post

When I created Nomad Influencer I made the decision to avoid politics as a topic for my blog. My political views just aren't that important and I still believe that today.

Albert Camus once said that our lives are the lump sum of all our choices. Of course sometimes we have no control over the circumstances we find ourselves in, but we always get to choose how we respond. Other times we have complete control over our circumstances. Whether we continue to put up with situations (and relationships) that leave us drained and longing for more. Whether we continue to play safe in our careers because we are afraid we don’t have what it takes to succeed doing what we truly want. Whether we resist change, and stick with a status quo that while it may not be miserable, is a far cry from what we really want.
