Change involves lot of training and counseling, but real acceptance of any significant change only happens when people actually apply the new practices and experience the tangible benefits of the change. People learn and adapt at a different rate and it is important to “facilitate” change than to “push” it. Don’t Kill It!

A dear friend and business coach, Marcie Stern of Vocal Consulting, tells me that according to Harvard Business School Research, your business can earn 10 times more by writing down your goals.
