Things We Should Include In Our Life
Monday 20th April 2009
This month's question takes me back to the early days of Total Performance Concepts. Right back to 2001:
In the early editions of The Full Nelson (not sure which year) you used to include some little pointers about what we should include in our life. Can you share them with us again?
The points amounted to 120 in total, a few too many to outline here. But here is a sample. If you would like the complete list then drop me an email at:
totalperformance@totalperformance.com.au
