Alone we can do so little. Together we can do so much.

Who you are is who you attract – Grow Accordingly!

We need to continually evaluate where we distribute our attention because where it is, is where we spend our life. Get good at having 100% of it on the task at hand and not distributing it in fractions.
IV. President Lyndon B. Johnson on how to amplify your impact:
You ain’t learin nothin when you’re doin all the talking.

2 Challenges to Conquer
I. Consult on or discuss one thing you know will make a difference but may be an awkward conversation.
II. Ask one client, “How could I have a bigger impact on your operation?”
1 Reflection Question
