Here’s your Success-quest Kata Meryl Runion Rose, Chief Iterative Officer SpeakStrong Method. Please share freely with credit. 17

1. “Begin with the end in mind”: Create a vision. I define success as: • Having what you need and needing what you have. • Being and becoming who you are. • Feet on the ground, heart open and spirits high. • Leave the world better than you found it.

4. Set goals that will move you closer to your vision(s) Example: I might want to write a book on this style of living, striving and succeeding some day.

I didn’t know what it would lead to. I don’t know what else it will lead to either. But I’ll find out!Meryl Runion Rose, Chief Iterative Officer SpeakStrong Method.
