1 - 10
11. Practice being open to others by actively listening to them and not “telling” them
12. Daily prepare your heart so you are not seduced by subtle ethical distinctions – subtlety has a way of sneaking up – ambushes work on the ill prepared – be prepared.
13. Develop your personal purpose statement (Why were you created - born? What are you meant to accomplish?) and lead from it (and we all lead no matter our title)
14. As a person thinks so is he – therefore, practice Phil 4: 8-9 “Whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable – if excellent or praiseworthy, think about these things.
15. Be present in all your business conversations – connect with the person speaking – listening is an active activity – passive listening does not honor the speaker
16. Develop inner contentment – joy is accepting the circumstances with an understanding that our loving Father wants what is best for us in spite of the stuff happening around us. The peace of God is directly related to our anxiety.
17. Remember – you are a steward of this company, this team, this project, this business idea, this family – you and I own nothing.
18. Make all business decisions with integrity remembering that wealth is not a goal but a consequence
19. Idle words are dangerous – practice clear, concise, encouraging, edifying conversation
20. Understand what drives you (how God wired you) and then understand how God has wired others and communicate with them in the style that best meets their needs – not yours.

Griff - I got a lot of it most of the time but still working on and refining 11, 13, 15, and 16. This is tough stuff if you are honest with yourself.
