John C. Maxwell
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.
soul belief core-values
Your core values are the deeply held beliefs that authentically describe your soul.
inspirational moving-on perseverance
A difficult time can be more readily endured if we retain the conviction that our existence holds a purpose - a cause to pursue, a person to love, a goal to achieve.
people matter titles
No matter your title, people will not follow you if they don’t trust you.
thinking growth personal-growth
I think success has a lot to do with my own personal growth.
leadership children boss
If you are a parent, you have probably already realized that your children are always watching what you do. And just as children watch their parents and emulate their behavior, so do employees who are watching their bosses.
procrastination play pay
Pay now, play later; play now, pay later.
purpose grows accidents
We don't grow on accident, we grow on purpose.
champion purpose winner
Courage and initiative come when you understand your purpose in life.
thinking secret hills
There's a tendency for us to think that the secret of our success is something that is mystical and maybe someday my time will come. And it's certainly out there somewhere; it's around the bend; it's at the top of the hill.
accomplishment approach ifs
Most accomplishments in life come more easily if you approach them strategically
heart hands people
The position does not make you a leader. The title, the promotion, the fancy corner office do not make you a leader. No, it is relationships with people that are the foundation, the very heart of leadership. Have you ever worked for someone you didn't like? It's difficult, isn't it? On the other hand, the leader you will follow anywhere and everywhere is one you know cares about you, and values you. This person has your best interests at heart. It is the leader who comes alongside to help you improve and grow.
