• Success Story of Laura
• Commit to Get Leads

o People are a good use of time. It's all about relationships.

• Consult to Sell

o Set priorities and set times to do the things that you need to do. Look at when they will happen, but also set a backup spot to make sure it happens.

• Connect to Build and Grow

o Leave a little bit of growth on the table – it keeps things sustainable and leaves momentum for growth. The idea of keeping going – continuous momentum – is the key to long-term growth.

• Success Thinking, Activities and Vision

o The berry season is short - It is possible to have a very full life and to enjoy it!

• Sweet Spot of Success

"Everything takes longer than you think it will, so build in extra space for things like that, and build in space for opportunity for things that are going well."- Laura Vanderkam
