Be Even MORE Specific With Your Goals.

You may have later wondered (as I have) why you still haven’t made much progress on your objectives. There is one simple reason.

The world has changed, but it has also remained the same. Recalling the motto, “Everything we do, we do with, for, or because of someone else,” we have always relied on other people to help us get done what we feel has to (could be or might) be done.
