1. Strategic Fit
Strategic fit is the process of aligning yourself and your environment so you can flourish. People do best when they place themselves in situations that are compatible with their values and where they have the opportunity to succeed by playing to their strengths.

2. Management by Objectives
Management by Objectives is the process of learning to prioritize your actions - to focus your time and energy on your goals and to measure your results every day. To manage your life by objectives, you set your objectives each day based on your goals and you work daily to achieve those objectives by moving toward your goals.

3. Chunking
Chunking is one of the most important tools to use to live a successful life. Chunking allows you to take a large task and break it down into bite-size chunks which are not as overwhelming as the large task. By chunking, you break down the task into its achievable component parts and take small steps toward success by accomplishing the chunks.

4. Risk-Reward Decision Making
You have and will always have choices in your life. Risk/reward decision-making is taking into account the potential positive and negative outcomes and implications. It is weighing the potential good versus the potential bad.

5. Mental Rehearsal
Mental rehearsal prepares you for achieving your task. Learn to think about how to accomplish the task at hand. Mentally rehearse the task, the phone call, or the meeting. Think about what you want to accomplish. Think about the objectives of the meeting, the call, the action.

6. Mental Replay
Once you have acted, stop and critique your performance. What could you have done better? What can you learn? You must learn to critique yourself fairly and frequently. That is how you learn. Review and learn.
