3	When It Comes To Your Job the "What" Always Trumps the "Why" And the "Who" So always ask: "What will I be paid to do?"
4	You'll Never Find the Perfect Job So every week, for the rest of your life, write your Strong Week Plan
5	You'll Never Turn Your Weaknesses Into Strengths So fess up to your weaknesses, then neutralize them
