Think Objectively:

1. Where are you now? how did you get there ? where will you be in the future if you don't do things differently ?

2. Scan wider horizons, what changes would eliminate the threats or dangers you face?

3. Increase your visibility, to stand out from others, your goals must be higher than theirs.

4. Keep you options open, use your best talent to create more talent

People who plan and prepare outperform those who don't.

To avoid unwanted surprises:

- Become an expert at what you do
- Know what ressources you need, as well as where an how to get them
- Shift those resources to get highest yield
- Set up an objective system to measure progress
- Take a realistic view of the future, don't trust opinions that aren't based on fact
- Budget time carefully
- Become the best example of self discipline
- Stay away from negative people
