SLIDE 39

Getting Started

  • 1. Know what question you need to answer
  • 2. Define a measurable goal
  • 3. Track progress against the goal

The approximate answer to the right problem is worth a good deal more than the exact answer to an approximate problem – John Tukey, Mathematician Change is inevitable - Growth is optional. – John C Maxwell, Leadership Expert A man only learns in two ways, one by reading and the
