If you are tasked with driving a car forward, using the rear view mirror might make that task rather difficult. And dangerous. How do you drive a car forward, then? How do you make any progress? Easy. You look directly out the front windshield, not immediately in front of the car but not too far […]
Things are a’ changin, my friends. I’m going to start taking a different approach with my posts here on [AnnieSorensen.com], and I wanted to sit down for a minute to explain a few things. I love to write, and I love topics like personal development and entrepreneurialism, so when I started this blog I put […]
If I were to have the opportunity to start my adult life over again, I would do one general, albeit very important, thing differently: go faster. Much faster.

Because there’s never been a better time than now. Because you can. Because it makes you happy. Because you’re going to prove them wrong. Because you’re going to prove them right. Because it won’t kill you to try…and you won’t know until you try. Because what if it works? Because an expansion always follows a […]
So. You know how you hear people say that “stick with your gut” line? Sometimes that’s easy to do, right?
