Recently I read a book by Marshall Goldsmith titled – “What Got You Here Won’t Get You There!

The book is about 20 habits that can lead to great success, but in the end can prevent us from ultimate success and fulfillment.    When I first read the book I believe I was just relating the information to business.  After reviewing the list again, these are great principals for life.

Enjoy!
