10 Lessons Learned in 2013 (My Christmas Gift to You!)  

  

by Mark Matteson

The holidays are a great time for reflection. They are a time to gather up the past to serve the future. What did you learn in 2013? For me, writing is how I process what I've learned. Below you will find my big lessons for 2013. May the best of 2013 be the worst of 2014 for you and yours.

 

What if you invested 20-30 minutes reading these articles? There are worse ways to invest half an hour in between eggnog and shopping. If you like them, what if you forwarded them as a gift to the people in your life you care about? They are great stocking stuffers and they are FREE! Who can you send them to? You might just spark some success in the lives of the people who matter to you most!
