Note 5: Breakthroughs By Focusing On Value

Note 1: The Language Of Value

Welcome to this series of short notes. My intention is to offer visitors to this website “something to think about”. The notes will be very informal and “chatty” but always containing a point or principle that I hope you will be able to take away and think about.
