			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Leadership Development News&#8230; Here&#8217;s an opportunity to get you hands on some awesome leadership development and personal <a href="http://www.gregmeares.com/SuccessTrace" style=""  rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='http://www.gregmeares.com/SuccessTrace';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">success</a> information.</p>
<p>My friend Michael Angier gave me some good news, bad news, good news the other day.</p>
<p>Seems his company, <a title="SuccessNet" target="_blank" href="http://www.1automationwiz.com/app/?Clk=1925046">SuccessNet</a>, had an exceptional year in 2006.</p>
<p>The bad news is he didn&rsquo;t send Uncle Sam enough for his estimated taxes, and he has to cut a very big check on the 15th of this month.</p>
<p>So he&#8217;s running a big sale that will help you save a bunch and make writing his check to the IRS a lot less painful for him.</p>
<p>The good news for you is he&#8217;s willing to drastically slash prices on almost all of his great products.</p>
<p>As you may know, <a title="SuccessNet" target="_blank" href="http://www.1automationwiz.com/app/?Clk=1925046">SuccessNet</a> is one of the most trusted sources for products and services for personal and professional development on the web.</p>
<p>For the past 11 years, they&rsquo;ve been helping great people and great companies become even better.</p>
<p>I wanted to alert you to this rare opportunity to grab some very helpful products at clearance prices. This is your chance to save big on a boatload of eBooks, books, programs and other resources all designed to help you excel&#8211;in your job, your business and your personal life.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll find products on the following topics: prosperity, business building, <a href="http://www.gregmeares.com/SuccessDNA" style=""  rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='http://www.gregmeares.com/SuccessDNA';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">motivation</a>, productivity, goals, focus&#8211;and a whole lot more.</p>
<p>I can personally vouch for SuccessNet. They consistently under-promise and over-deliver. Michael Angier and his team are the real deal.</p>
<p>Some of the packages and items have limited quantities so I urge you to act quickly.</p>
<p>Just go to this page and see which items will help you the most. <a title="SuccessNet" target="_blank" href="http://www.1automationwiz.com/app/?Clk=1925046">SuccessNet<br />

<p>A mission statement is a brief, concise statement that lends a sense of focus and direction to team efforts.&nbsp; The mission statement should be specific enough to serve as a benchmark for setting priorities and evaluating the value of a team&#8217;s performance.</p>
<p><strong>The key qualities of a mission statement are:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Its purpose is to liberate energy, mobilize, federate, ethuse, and make people think; </li>
<li>It should be satisfying, reasonable, equitable, ambitious, possible and consistant with corporate culture; </li>
<li>It should look beyond the foreseeable future; </li>
<li>It must be clearly expressed; </li>
<li>It must NOT be just an economic goal; </li>
<li>It must NOT be parachuted from above. </li>
</ul>
