Whatever you have on your plate or ahead of you, having a vision and a plan can help you to find focus and get yourself from Point A to Point B and beyond. When I started this blog, I had been following other career and PR girl blogs like NYC PR Girls, PR Blonde, Kayla Hollatz, and PR Couture for a while. I’ve had…
