The Learn, Do, Grow Model Read on The Digital Inc. A few weeks ago, I saw a tweet and I saved it… In fact, it inspired this post. I realize that online, people only post the highlights of their life. It's easy to see a curation of a person's success and feel left behind, but truthfully I think you as a person has to give effort to a variety of things before you find out what works for you.
