Apply the Principles:

“Do to others as you would have them do to you.” Luke 6:31(NIV)

 

Take Action Now:

  1. Know what you want and don’t want
  2. Set your priorities
  3. Verbally communicate your priorities and what you want and don’t want to people who are interested in getting to know you
  4. Don’t make excuses
