Choices I encourage you to make on your journey.

A recent Harvard Business School survey of Fortune 500 executives shows that CEO’s feel success is based 87% on people skills and only 13% on
technical knowledge.

Choose
HOPE as a motivator, not a
strategy.
7
“If you rely too much on hope as a strategy, you may then start blaming outside
conditions for a lack of results. No you can’t control the weather, the economy, the
competition or the time of year. But even in the worst of times, you can still control your attitude, your work ethic, where you spend
your time, with whom you spend it, your character choices and your devotion to
daily disciplines.” ~DAVE ANDERSON
