When life gives you a lemon, make some lemonade.
Whatever you do, do it with passion and be
the best that you can be.
Look and talk
like a professional.
If you decide to do
something of importance, go first class and come back with a victory.
Dr. Lorene B. Holmes, Professor of Business

Leaders have a plan – for every area of life.
Failing to plan is planning to fail.
The strategy for a successful
savings plan is to save something every payday even if it’s a small
amount. No savings goal can be reached
without regular deposits. A weekly $5.00
deposit provides you with more money at the end of the year than five $50.00
deposits scattered throughout the year.
Plan your investment strategy for building wealth, put your plan on
paper, and start it with an automatic deposit in your investment account. You don’t have to start big. All you have to do is start.
16. Great
Leaders are wise. They realize that they
will not live forever. Not only do they
have an insurance plan, they will invest in a plan that covers their salvation. Make sure you get your life right before the
enemy of life knocks on your door.
17. Great
Leaders never leave home without God’s plan of salvation, they make sure
they’re covered and protected.
