And one of the key ingredients of self-promotion is the resume. Nail it, and you nail the job. Blow it, and you blow your chances at a better job, better career or even a better life.

The third installment in my ten-part series (which has taken me much longer to write than planned), I decided to take a look at the Law of Attraction since the concept has hung around much longer than many of its critics foretold.

In the old days, companies actually produced stuff. They invented it, designed it, made it, marketed it, and sold it. Although there are still some companies like that, they're a lot less common now.
