“A man who procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably have his choice made for him by circumstance.” ― Hunter S. Thompson
Slide 55
Slide 55 text
Couple of days in a hotel. Airbnb for a month. A house that didn’t work out. Same Airbnb. And we now have a home again.
Slide 56
Slide 56 text
So. Wayne. Why are you telling me this?
Slide 57
Slide 57 text
Things change. Be brave. Take the bullshit by the horns.
