Where you Start From

You are here. That is it, right now you are here. You want to get to some other point, over there. I could draw it out, but everyone’s drawing would be different – “you are here, you want to get to there (maybe you even need to)”. Do you know the steps to take to get there?

Who’s the Leader?

Probably not who you think it is. Probably not the person with the title. Probably not the person who gets the most goals.
