Take Time to Create a Life
Balance Sheet for Success |
|
It’s
important from time to time that we sit down and honestly assess our lives.
Doing so allows us to make an honest determination about where we are now and
where we want to be in the future. When we’re assessing our finances, we

error. In many situations they know and understand the patients better than the
doctors.
Realizing this, and noticing that some of the nurses looked a little tired, I
asked Ruth to bring out all the nurses she had introduced me to at the nurses’
