Top 3 Value Bombs

1. Don’t let fear stop you. Every day you show up, do the scariest thing first. Once you do that, fear will have much less power in your life.

2. Everybody is rethinking their lives, creating issues in the workplace. People realize that their value is more than what they were being compensated for.

3. AV Hero is taking advantage of the freelance gig economy, providing people options around their schedule and compensation. It’s going to be the obvious choice for people who may have issues with audio-visual technology.
