people over-you mentor
Whenever I mentor people and help them discover their purpose, I always encourage them to start the process by discovering their strengths, not exploring their shortcomings. Why? Because people's purpose in life is always connected to their giftedness. It always works that way. You are not called to do something that you have no talent for. You will discover your purpose by finding and remaining in your strength zone.
thinking realizing okay
I think once a person realizes that they are every day either sowing into their life either potential success, or sowing into their life potential failure, they would all of a sudden go okay, I've got to figure out what I'm going to do.
attitude stay-positive outstanding
A person with an outstanding attitude makes the best of it while he gets the worst of it.
people leader important
Acquiring and keeping good people is a leader's most important task.
success generations next
True success comes only when every generation continues to develop the next generation.
failing
The more you do, the more you fail. The more you fail, the more you learn. The more you learn, the better you get.
responsibility leader get-better
As a leader, you have to take responsibility for your own failures as well as successes. That's the only way you'll learn. If you keep learning, you'll improve. If you improve, your leadership will get better. And in time, you will earn the right to lead on the level you deserve.
today tomorrow insight
The greatest of all insights is that we cannot be tomorrow what we do not do today.
book writing thinking
I thought if I was open and honest, it would help the reader to get open and honest, and they also would realize sometimes when you write a book, people think you're an expert and that's not always true.
together connections influence
Without love, there can be no connection, no future, and no success together.
organization leader company
Grow a leader-grow the organization. A company cannot grow without until its leaders grow within.
helping-others focus attention
If you want to improve your world, then focus your attention on helping others.
struggle decision
What I find them struggling most isn't with one of the twelve [things from daily list]; I find them struggling with what decisions to make.
money winning focus
When it comes to money, you can't win. If you focus on making it, you're materialistic. If you try to but don't make any, you're a loser. If you make a lot and keep it, you're a miser. If you make it and spend it, you're a spendthrift. If you don't care about making it, you're unambitious. If you make a lot and still have it when you die, you're a fool-for trying to take it with you. The only way to really win with money is to hold it loosely-and be generous with it to accomplish things of value.
