10 business lessons you can learn from the hunger games
DESCRIPTION
Like most business owners I wake up most days and feel like I’m stepping into The Hunger Games. But while it may feel that being in business is a daily fight to the death, I don't think of this popular book and movie series because I believe I have to kill everyone else to survive!
