It was a sad day  in the world of business and in the world of creativity when we lost Steve Jobs. Steve may have lost his battle with cancer but he fought it longer than anyone expected with grace and determination. In terms of productivity Steve crammed many successful lifetimes into 56 years.   By todays standards he was middle aged so I can’t help wondering how much farther he would have taken us h&#8230;]]></description>

This week has changed my life in a way that I could have never imagined&#8230;.the reason for this  is because  I finally made the decision to listen to my heart and instincts in every aspect of my life and make changes in order to allow myself to truly emerge into what I know in my heart that I am.

Hmm&#8230;. I like this advice very much! I myself as a consumer am a creature of habit and I like what I like. Price is not a factor for the things that I feel necessary to enjoy my day. So I agree with Ken in the fact that if brands will focus on what their customers truly want from them rather than price, they will be able to sustain a better business.
