A Proverb
Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty.
A Thought
The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.

Shortcuts in life, and in business, are doomed to certain poverty. Do you believe that?
In our culture, diligence is out. Blatant self-promotion, even looking silly, is in.
Looking for the shortcuts has become the grist of reality TV and a way of American life. Planning has become confused with scheming, alliances, lying, quick decisions, "winning" at all costs.
Howard Shultz, founder of Starbucks, relates, “A phrase used by one of the most organized and successful companies I ever worked for….Proper planning and preparation prevents poor performance!"
Planning, preparation, performance, prosperity - No short cuts in that list!
What defines your path to prosperity?
