This series that I had originally intended for the Personal Tips for the next few days pertained to the business world as well. I have sometimes used the same tip for both Business and Personal but decided that this whole would be utilized for both tips.

Do they define you or do you define them?
What are your children’s core values?
What are your employer’s core values?
