BUSINESS TIP Paul G. Krasnow, author of The Success Code: A Guide for Achieving Your Personal Best in Business and Life (J & K Publishing, 2018, ISBN: 978-0- 692-99241-8), approaches the personal and professional chang- es that life inevitably brings our way as opportunities to reinvent ourselves – and thrive. "When you face a setback in your life, you have two choices," Krasnow said. "Remain stuck or move forward; it's that simple. Life is too short to spend it stuck and miserable. Take action now to change your life or get ready to watch life pass you by."
