PERSONAL SUCCESS PLAN.

A number of years ago I was introduced to this information, which consists of 10 job related topics, and 10 life related topics. As I re-read them, I feel I should share them with all of you. Please observe the common thread. I will submit afew each day. Remember, there is a total of 20.

The first 10 relate to 'On the job'.
