8. Communicate

9. Identify and pay the price of your goals: To be successful you need to take the risk

10. Master rejection and frustration

And Jones offered these four thoughts on personal growth:

1. Personal growth has no limits.

2. Success is not measured by what you’re leaving to go to; it’s about what you’re leaving behind.

3. When you let others get the credit — good things happen.

4. When you manage yourself use your head, when you manage others use your heart.
