2. The importance of having a clear mission. What a mission statement is and why it's so critical to success----for anybody!
3, What a strategy is - why it's so important to understand as it is how you will begin accomplishing your mission and fulfilling your vision. Also, what strategic thinking is all about. Like it or not we are all strategists - and it's better to be a good one than a bad one.
4. What tactics are and a clear understanding between strategies and tactics - they aren't the same thing.
5. How to make the best decisions for your life or company by having a "tool from the school" of economics - a tool that most folks don't know about or use in their daily lives.

After two college degrees and 25 years in the work force I've noticed certain things come up over and over...things that are conceptual in nature and CRITICAL to understand---these things form a path, a roadmap, a framework to success, again, regardless of how you define success! I've also written a book called 'Steve Patterson's Street Smarts For Success: A Step-by-Step Guide"
The reason I name these tools 'Street Smarts" is because I've learned most of them in the "real world" - not just in formal education. I also believe that you don't have to know everything - but you DO need to KNOW the MAIN things. Again, that's what street smarts is all about.
