Thumb - Strength of character
          Establish pre-eminence (the you who shows up before you show up)
Pointer - FOCUS
          Follow one course until successful: know your outcomes, take action, find
          what works and what doesn't, re-align until you achieve outcomes
Middle - Brand
          Who are you? What do you stand for? Are you who you say you are?
          Standards, benchmarks
Ring -    Relationships
          10% interested in working with you, 30% might, the rest probably won't ever
Little - Little things that count (what you do that others don’t)
          It's all about them. What is your core story? '90 sec elevator pitch'

 Who is your audience? What is your focus? What is the
          core thing you want to get across?
   Re-align and re-focus to achieve your outcomes.

• Put in intense effort for a few years in an
  area where you will make a difference.

• New game plan –
    'Your rhetoric must resonate with your
    audience' - find your pathway of
    connection from what you do to who you
    are working with.

• Begin with the end in mind.
