Fast Preparation - and a quiz!

FAST PREPARATION by Paul Lemberg

Do you still think going faster means working harder
and doing more and working harder
and doing more and...?

What if it meant something else entirely?

What if it meant having a vision of startling clarity,
maintaining a laser-like focus, and staying relentlessly on purpose?

What if it meant only doing the things which mattered to you,
and turning on a dime if your current direction isn’t taking
you where you want to go?

How fast do you want to go?
