Give me anything and everything, If I will own it, I won't rest until it gets done.

Strategic Planning is something I love to do. Doing harder things and accomplishing them gives me a high.

It’s not done, Until it ships! The feeling of a greatly executed plan gives me more happiness than the plan itself.
