Prompts for Building Your Success List!

To-Do Lists are seductive because they can easily fool you into a sense of accomplishment and control. In reality though, a To-Do list may or may not have any connection to your success. Instead of creating a To-Do List, think carefully about those specific tasks that will actually propel you towards success. Those are the activities you need for building your Success List.!
Here are five tailored deliverables and prompts for Owning Your ONE Thing, with emphasis on staying focused on moving steadily towards success - rather just crossing off To-Dos!
