Know your community and view them as partners in making a difference
Understand your current situation and how you got there
Set your vision for the future and use the SMART principle to develop your objectives to get you there
Remember your image – just because you work in garbage doesn’t mean you have to look, act, or talk like you do
Educate, Educate, Educate Don’t give up, enjoy the ride, and have fun
