Practice Patience
•The one thing I have noticed in life is that leading is harder than you think and it always takes longer than you planned.
•Patience must start with you! Learn to be your own best friend – you have to believe in yourself first. Learn to accept failure and learn from it.
•It has been said that you will experience 8-10 failures for each success.
•When you have a failure, give yourself time to recover. Do not keep pressing forward against all odds. BE GOOD TO YOURSELF!
•Learn to practice patience with other people. You will become a much better leader. Do not become so anxious that you forget to bring your team with you.
Possess Self-Discipline
•Learn the discipline of prioritizing and then live by those priorities!
•Learn the art of diminishing distractions in your life. Practice digital sunrise and sunset everyday.
•What is your daily 5 habits that are non-negotiable?
•What is the value of your time? Know it! Do not sell yourself cheaply to activities that do not produce HIGH RETURN’S!
•Consistency compounds and gives you a high return. What gets measured gets rewarded.
•Realize that life is not balanced, therefore it is hard for your life to be balanced. There are seasons of life and they rarely allow for balance. This is why that consistency of priorities is the pathway by which you achieve balance.
Enrich People’s Lives
•Stop attempting to sell something and start enriching people’s lives.
•Pass on what has worked for you personally – not just theory!
•Always search for common ground in connecting with people.
•What are the top three things that you are passionate about in your life that will help others?
Develop Yourself Daily
•Take your personal growth seriously. Your growth today is the only guarantee that you will get better tomorrow.
•Consider the following;
•Out of Your Gift Zone + Out of Your Comfort Zone = Catastrophe
•In Your Gift Zone + In Your Comfort Zone = Coasting
•In Your Gift Zone + Out of Your comfort Zone = Creative & Climbing
•Practice the rule of 5 for Growth: Learn, Prioritize, Apply, Evaluate, Share.
Learn How To Lead
•The foundation of leading is to LOVE PEOPLE!
•Leadership is visual!
•The weight of your words is never as heavy as the weight of your actions.
•There will be Leadershifts – Move from connecting with people as the highest idea and move to challenging people to produce.
•Learn to develop greatness in others – do not settle for just being friends!
