Leadership Classrom from the-team.biz

Our thoughts lead to our actions. How we think will be indicated by our behaviors. To arrive at 5% results in life, we must first learn to think like 5%-ers. Once we do that, we can start behaving like 5%-ers, and the 5% resultant lifestyle will be sure to follow. (Of course, not all situations are true for all people all of the time, but we think you'll agree that the following lists are largely and amazingly accurate).
