Starting Over Isn’t Starting Over

It’s a new year. Many people are changing jobs, starting a business, engaging in new routines, committing to the gym or a diet, or engaging in a brand-new hobby or activity. Some of those people (as I have heard from the language they use) feel as if they are starting over and starting from zero.

I went to VeeCon 2024 and all I got was this shirt. Not really. I also got a ton of inspiration, motivation, reinforcement, knowledgeable insights, and new connections for both business and life. I heard from industry leaders, incredibly knowledgeable speakers, awesome musicians, and fellow attendees who had inspiring stories to tell.
