In Belgium, there is a great brewery in an ancient monastery. The Abbott explains, “We are no brewers. We are monks. We brew beer to be able to afford being monks.”
I’m not a blogger. I am not an author. I am simply a (life-long) student who enjoys business and uses this site to improve business clarity.

Because of what I’m not, I don’t worry intensely about monetization, pageviews, and grammar. I am primarily focused on learning, sharing, and improving.
