2. Begin With the End in Mind (Covey’s 2nd Habit)
* It’s not “what am I doing?” it’s “who am I becoming?” (Rohn)
* Self-assess (Donahoe, Charan, Bossidy)
Connect the Dots (Comstock)
* Companies are comprised of business units; it’s all connected
* Delight prospects from the outset (Four Seasons); set the standard
Be Resourceful
* Find two solutions to problems before escalating them to others
* Creative Thinking (Thinkertoys) vs. Critical Thinking (Pyramid Principle)
Play the Long Game but “Make Your World Small” (Stumpf, Itzler)
* Work in chunks (10-30-60 minutes); confine yourself to the present (Aurelius, Seneca)
* Life charts (WaitButWhy)
Seek and you’ll find principles everywhere

3. How good are you?
Communicate Like a Boss
