Author. Entrepreneur. Founder & CEO of Borgella Street Journal.
Pierre Poteau, Ph.D., is the founder of Borgella Street Journal, and author of Habit Sequencing, 86,400 Seconds a Day, and From Dreamer to Achiever. After his service in the Armed Forces, he set out to answer the question, why do some people with clear, attainable goals fail to achieve them? In his writing, Poteau relies heavily on research that he cites and names, and he closes every essay with a small, actionable step that readers can take.
