Our Mindsets Approach 12.20 12.40

Why do we do the things we do? What is it that drives our behaviours?

How do you feel at this moment about the years challenges ahead? What did you learn from your last project about working with a family member and how are you going to build on this? It is important to plan. What plans and goals are you going to put in place to start your climb. Can you display these at home so that it reminds you to practice and keeps you motivated? How are you going to document your journey and share your success? What are you short term, mid term and long term goals? How will you ensure that this time will be more successful than the last?
