>>>> Strategy is not just about the end; rather, it’s the means to that end. For that reason, sound strategies must be flexible, not rigid. In its simplest form it’s a basic road map—albeit one that involves and incorporates change.

 * Perfect Job Paragraph
 * Many people have different perceptions of the “perfect job” because this job is different for every individual. I am a stay-at-home mom of a nine month old so working online is absolute perfect and a blessing from GOD. The mere fact that I can work from the comfort of my home and have flexible hours is especially wonderful because I can take care of my son when he needs me. I also love the idea of working at my own pace. Throughout some courses of my Ph. D., I loved the ability to work at my own pace because I love to get things done early so that I will have time to look over it and make sure that it is exactly like I and the receiving person want it to be. The ability to work and earn extra income doing something that I love and something that is worthwhile is awesome. I also teach college courses online so this is just a beautiful opportunity.
