Five Stepping Stones for a Successful 2017


In what sequence of importance would you put the words in the picture above?  
                                                                                  
Would you agree that some of these words unlock the potential of the others?

What benefit do they have for your life?

The sequence of importance you would give those words may depend in part on your behavioral/personality traits.  Some individuals would need to have “A Plan” established before setting out to create the others.  On the other hand, some people could not create “A Plan” without having “Order” and “Space” lined out.


Understanding yourself and your natural behavioral tendencies will help you be more successful in 2017!  Perhaps as you look at these stepping stone words, one or two of them pop out in your mind.  Why did that “stone” come so quickly to mind? 

Take some time to reflect on why it came to mind and what you need to do with it, then determine what you will do with the other stones?
