by Happy Success Monday!
We are now in Section 2 Chapter 12 of Act Like A Success, Think Like A Success. In honor of the new section, each post will follow a different format. I plan to decrease my commentary and focus more on the quotes and questions for reflection. I hope this helps you to focus on your interpretation of the reading instead of my opinions. So here is the summary of this week’s reading.
Chapter 12: Tale of the Tape
