They encouraged the auditorium to pursue city promotion using positive impressions about the city. The seminar dragged on because of the discussion that transformed into ideas exchange about how to attract “your type of a client”, how to make positioning effective, and how much does it cost – the efforts and own investments – to create the product that you are going to be proud in years.

Do you always understand that you are on the right path? Are these your goals, and do they make you happy?
Because sometimes, we move forward and succeed, but this is not our goal, but our parents' dream. Sometimes when we retire, we realize that we have worked all our lives and achieved success, but now we are tormented by the conscience that we have given little time to children. And how many successful people leave the business and fly to the islands - and work there as a freelancer.
You need to set goals according to your values to succeed and be happy. So, the pensioner mentioned earlier had a family value, and he grew in business.
