Editor's Notes
- #24: END
- #31: How we are sharing our goals or working with others will help us be more effective in reaching our goals
- #32: Just as much as communicating is important, so is listening. Seek wisdom and advice from people who have already achieved your goals or are people that you know you can look up to. Communicate with them, but most importantly listen. You have one mouth and 2 ears, so we should listen more than we speak.
- #38: Work time to work on goals.
