Some of the hardest-working leaders I know are also the most frustrated. They’re experienced. Smart. Driven. Their team respects them. The company is growing — or at least it should be. But they’re stuck. It’s not because they’re doing the wrong things, but because they’re solving the wrong problems. And they’re mistaking motion for momentum. They’re trying to outwork a thinking problem.

Skincare and energy drinks seem like a great return on investment. Cosmetics and drinks are high margin businesses and so thats mabye why influencers choose them to sell you products.
