success mistake safe
If you aren't making any mistakes, it's a sure sign you're playing it too safe.
passion thinking people
Sometimes I hear people talk about discipline of self and I think, if you don't have passion, I might discipline myself for a week or two but only passion will hold me steady.
leadership character people
Character creates consistency, and if your people know what they can expect from you, they will continue to look to you for leadership.
teach
Experience teaches nothing, but evaluated experience teaches everything.
learning thinking people
As you begin changing your thinking, start immediately to change your behavior. Begin to act the part of the person you would like to become. Take action on your behavior. Too many people want to feel, then take action. This never works.
vision
Great visions are cast one on one.
believe focus proactive
I believe that everyone chooses how to approach life. If you're proactive, you focus on preparing. If you're reactive, you end up focusing on repairing.
order giving leader
Effective leaders don't gather things just for themselves; they do it in order to give to others.
book taken bad-relationship
I say this in the book [Today Matters], we either spend our day repairing or preparing, and if I haven't taken good care of my today's, they accumulate. So all of a sudden today what I'm doing is I'm going back, I'm repairing bad relationships and wrong decisions, and I'm digging a hole. I'm not making any progress because I'm in a repairing mode, versus if I really make today count that prepares me for tomorrow. Tomorrow really will take care of itself if I do the right thing today.
believe keys people
Believing in people before they have proved themselves is the key to motivating people to reach their potential.
leader conviction ability
If you don't have the ability to see when to stand up and the conviction to do it, you'll never be an effective leader.
passion ninety-nine giving
Passion gives you an advantage over others, because one person with passion is greater than ninety-nine who have only an interest!
leadership people way
Connecting is the ability to identify with people and relate to them in a way that increases your influence with them.
destination
Success is not a destination thing, it’s a daily thing.
