Success is a continuous journey

Aug 23 2010

Another interesting talk by Richard St. John, this is the second time I have blogged one of his videos. I posted some thoughts on success ealier in the month. This video features Richard talking for 3 minutes and 55 seconds and was filmed at TED 2009 in February.

I think I enjoyed this talk more than the first one, very honest and practical. What are your thoughts on sustainable success?
