Personal Leadership 101:

  • We will never get better at anything we don’t start.
  • The quickest way to fail at anything is to do nothing.
  • When we take action odds favor failure. However, by taking action and failing more often, we increase our odds of succeeding.
  • The best way to be inspired is to simply do the things we say we’re going to do.
  • Dreams do not awaken without action.

We know these things.

Or do we?

If we were apprehended, would there be enough evidence for a conviction?

  2. Keeps our contribution safe, predictable, and probably small by comparison.

It really is a simple choice between the two.

Perhaps the crowning achievement of leadership is being able to provide others with the same type of game changing opportunities that we were blessed with.

In the giving we receive.

Servant leadership.

Looks good on paper, but can we do it without thinking about it?

Workplace (and personal) culture is what we think and do, without thinking.

Being intentional is the most important characteristic determining whether your personal culture works for you or against you.

You are the CEO of You, Inc.
