- Part of leadership is motivating those you lead. So you must know what actually motivates each person. The critical part is tapping into that!
- What you “expect” is not often what you get. What you “earn” is certainly more apt to get you going in that direction. Earning trumps expecting!
- DO you ever think: why him or her? My thought is “if them; then why not me”. Put it on yourself to make it YOU – not THEM (or anyone else)!
- What you do; how you do it; and who you associate with on a daily basis will determine your image and your impact!
- The most important list you need to make: the list of things you need to do to become what you want to become…. Get the paper out now!
- It’s ok to be at a loss of words, but we should never be at a loss of ideas or vision of ourselves!
- Decisions to make on your problems: make excuses for them; feel sorry for yourself; or work to solve them????
- A great weekend personal assignment: read as much as you can this weekend. See how much you can learn. Then apply it in this upcoming week!
- The most successful people in life control the controllable things in their life. Those that stay on top of these have a chance to be on top!
- Learn from life by evaluating backwards (what happened); progress with life by living life forward (what can happen)! Don’t live in past!
- Today is always a great day to get something done that you DO NOT FEEL LIKE DOING. Usually this leads to great momentum on other things!
- Observing & absorbing: so important to be a keen observer. But equally important to absorb what you learn. Need both steps to succeed!
- One of the best qualities we can possess is the ability to “bring energy” every day. Energy is a multiplier – it pulls others in.
- Looking for excuses is easy because there are lots of them out there. Fighting through challenges is hard — BUT: it usually leads to success!
- Successful people have a willingness to dig in when times are tough. The alternative is to give in-definitely much easier but never successful!
- Do what you do best; do it that way all the time; continue to learn–and accept nothing less of yourself. This is how you continue to climb.
- Everyone need to understand that talent is a “gift”; but attitude, focus, spirit, discipline, and character are “choices”!
- Potential or production? Best teams & companies love potential but value & need production. Potential must become production at some point!
- Best organizations in sports or business have: the resources needed; the environment that fosters success; people w/ character/team mindset!
- Seeking counsel from those who came before you is on of the most intelligent things you can do for your future success. Find those people!
- Leadership begins as a title but the best leaders turn it into a position of nurturing, guiding, helping, encouraging, changing, & creating!
- Two groups you must pay 100% attention to: 1) the group of people (your circle) you travel in; 2) the group of thoughts you allow into your mind!
- An important question I as myself: what do I want to become? My answer drives me each day. “Becoming”, to me, is very, very powerful!
- What if you said: I’m going to do this religiously for 10 days & begin the habit forming process. Think how many habits you could create in a year!
- Mistakes are always going to be made. It’s simply a part of many things we are trying to do. The key is to make “new” mistakes.
- What you say as a leader has the power to strengthen or weaken those you lead. There is power in words. Leaders must use them wisely!
- When times are most tough and your self doubt may be kicking in: that is when you have to rely on your mind/work/spirit–knowing you have invested all 3!
- People ask me all the time what’s the single most important thing I do every day. It’s actually 2 things: 1) I read —- 2) I think. A must!
- Introspection is the key ingredient of growth, development, and improvement. But true introspection takes well thought out questions!
- So often we all come to a point where we can’t seem to make a final decision. That is the time where we have to get away & just think.
- What you put on paper is most powerful when you put it in front of you on a daily basis. Seeing it makes it become a part of you everyday.
