​Introduction
FEW KNOW IT. LEADERS RELY ON IT. REAL INFLUENCERS SURVIVE BY IT. 

• LAW OF CURIOSITY (15 Invaluable Laws of Growth) - Growth is stimulated by asking Why?  Ask more questions.  The old saying:  Those who can do will always have a job, and the people who know why, will always be their boss.

  • “Millions saw the apple fall, but Newton asked why.” —Bernard Baruch

 

• Ask extra questions and go the extra mile to help people.
