What's affecting me, my clients, my colleagues and other global small business owners:

• Guys and gals – you gotta start collaborating, if you haven't already!

• Quote of the week:  “I always talk to all the crew. I always make it pleasant. I always nurture a relationship that makes people feel like they're important, like they're a part of the collaboration. I feel that way about the young actors on set. I don't talk to them like I'm the mentor; I talk to them like they're my peers. And I learned that from Meryl Streep.” – Viola Davis
