However, if your weakness happens to be in an area that is critical to having a successful life and business… I think it’s worth thinking about, ‘how can I make some changes?’” - Andy Storch “The main concept is I want people to take ownership of their own career and their life. So that means you take full responsibility, you take initiative, you take action towards your goals and your dreams.” - Andy Storch “No one cares more about your career than you do.” - Andy Storch Resources Mentioned:  Own Your Career, Own Your Life BookTalent Development Hot Seat PodcastOwn Your Career, Own Your Life PodcastNever Eat Alone Connect with Andy on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram.
