Go Streaking
There is one idea that has done more for me and my goals than any other single thing. Goal streaks. Real success comes from continuous and relentless work. Working on your goals day after day without fail. Even if it is hard, even if you don’t want to, even if it feels like you are…

Business Secrets of the Trappist Monks
