JOHN C. MAXWELL: 5 ATTRIBUTES THAT LEAD TO SUCCESS
Developing a business means facing countless uncertainties—on the idea itself, on the processes that make the idea a reality, on the finances needed to birth a new enterprise. But the biggest risks are people.
IF YOUR DREAMS ARE BIGGER THAN YOU—AND MOST GREAT DREAMS ARE—THEN YOU MUST KNOW HOW TO TAKE CALCULATED RISKS ON PEOPLE.
After all, you can’t predict what they’ll do. You can’t make decisions for them. You can’t always know what drives them. But you won’t get far without them. If your dreams are bigger than you—and most great dreams are—then you must know how to take calculated risks on people.

I spend time with a lot of successful entrepreneurs. These people, who took huge chances to pursue their goals, are now reaping the rewards of their decisions.

7 HABITS OF HIGHLY (FINANCIALLY) EFFECTIVE PEOPLE
Just like bacon ice cream and “Call Me Maybe” parodies, self-help trends come and go. But Stephen Covey’s game-changing book “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,” which has sold more than 25 million copies, is one of a handful of titles that’s still as relevant today as when it was first published 28 years ago.

RELATIONSHIP BREAKDOWNS: 11 TIPS ON HELPING YOUR CHILDREN COPE
ONE OF MY most vivid memories from my childhood is walking in on my parents having a huge row in the kitchen.

FIVE THINGS YOUR WIFE WISHES YOU’D KNOW BUT WON’T TELL YOU

She wants you to be her partner, not another person to take care of. That’s why it’s music to her ears when you offer to make dinner or do bath time, even though you may have worked all day.
