TOP GOLDEN INSIGHTS
- Rule #1: First you make decisions, then you figure out how. Don’t allow your present status to control your thinking
- Are you interested, or committed? If you’re interested you’ll do what’s easy and convenient; you’ll allow your present circumstances and your old ways to control your thinking and hinder yourself. If you’re committed, you’ll upgrade your identity to match this DESTINY (SKILLS, BELIEFS, HABITS). Which are you?
- Learn what you need to do to market yourself. You need to constantly upgrade your skills.
