make and edit your values, morals, and beliefs
For each of these provides a source and an example from where these originated (for example: If you value loyalty, you may have learned this from your family or culture. You would state family as your source, and an experience of how you were taught loyalty within your family)
Use your values, morals, and beliefs to make a mission statement

For each goal/objective establish a timeline and a simple bullet point plan of how this goal can be achieved.

What does this have to do with Business Practices? The answer is everything!

Before you commence your career, it is important to have a sense of who you are, what matters to you, and your values. If these are clear you will find your effectiveness in the workplace is far greater than you would otherwise be able to achieve.

Your effectiveness is in part determined by how you see and respond to others - it is fostering positive personal and working relationships that make for effective Business Practice. People are everything.
