Priorities, goals and putting things in writing so we don't lie to ourselves. Congratulations on the GH final!

Gladwell's Outliers and Maxwell's Talent is Never Enough are two leadership books that I've used to apply to my writing life. Glad Mary Kay has been such a positive influence. Leadership skills are leadership skills wherever you find them. Half the battle is identifying them, the other half is having the discipline to apply them. ;) Wonderful words of wisdom.Mackenzie Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00508204115833993481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115759973832197426.post-21841988211279792652010-06-07T15:46:30.017-04:002010-06-07T15:46:30.017-04:00Hey, Keely!

It's absolutely critical to define WHAT and WHEN and post milestones so you keep track of whether or not you're making it.
