Greetings!

This week we're going to describe a process: an opportunity is recognized, a plan is made, and that plan is then carried out to the end. Sounds simple, doesn't it? But it's the rare - and successful - person who can do it all consistently.

So that's our plan for the week. Stay with us through Friday and see if we can pull it off!
