@Jacques Welcome.
Very interesting concept.
I have to come back and do some more reading.
Keep up the good work!
You have some grammatical errors in your post. In the first line you need to change “extraordinary” to “extraordinarily”. In the last line “…keep and open mind…” it should be, “keep an open mind…”
There are others as well, I suggest you run your copy through Word and do a grammar and spelling check before posting. I do.
Hi Derek,
Thanks for the compilation! You’re made it easier to reference the Success Factors in one scan! What I appreciate about what you’ve done is how you’ve presented a variety of perspectives about success and give us food for thought. I’ve got some catch up reading to do. But so far my favorites are the Kaizen, Four Hour Work Week and 5 Essentials.
