Goals are mile markers on a growth trip.

Goals are so you can grow.

Growth is the goal, not you existing for the goal.

So when you achieve a goal, seek more growth.

Goals are mile markers on a growth trip.

Without the goals, you wouldn’t be on the trip.  But still, it’s the trip you are after for what it makes of you.

Change your direction – now

“You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight.” – Jim Rohn

Fitness, health, family, and all kinds of goals…. 

Direction + Time = Destination.

What direction are you headed?

It's not "What will I get", but "Who will I become?"

“The ultimate reason for setting goals is to entice you to become the person it takes to achieve them.” – Jim Rohn

 What has the life you’ve chosen done to you?

Who have you become? 

Who are you becoming?

Who do you want to be?

What goals should you set and pursue to become it?

Say yes to less

The more things you do, the shallower you will perform in any of them. 

You can’t reach your potential in anything if you are trying to reach it in everything. 

You can’t do it all well if you are trying to do too many things.

If you’re the leader, you don’t have to do it all.  But you do have to build a team that gets it done.  That’s different.  That’s one job you can do, and doing it well will allow you to achieve outsized results.

Say yes to less, and do what remains far better.

The Magic that comes with Commitment.

Many people can’t seem to make a commitment.  The time doesn’t seem right.  All the lights aren’t green.  But we find they don’t turn green, or never will, unless you make a solid, action-backed, no doubt commitment of yourself to that goal. 

Make a firm decision and a full commitment, and events, people, resources, and faculties will show up to assist you. 

If not now, when?

If not you, who?

If not now, when?

Leaders are held to a higher standard

“A little sin is a big sin when committed by a big man” – The Talmud 

As a leader, people are watching what you do.  If you fall out of good character, do something stupid, break a rule or behave badly, it’s going to be noticed and talked about.

Did you know about this when you signed up?  You are now held to a higher standard than everyone else.

Meet the standard. 

It’s okay – it’s good for you.  

Become a professional communicator

People who do not communicate well don’t get promoted, can’t sell well, can’t enroll others in their vision, and don’t get what they want very often.

People who can create clarity, understanding, empathy, transfer confidence and enthusiasm, and enroll others will do far better and feel far less frustrated.

It can feel scary saying things you haven’t said before in ways you haven’t before to people you haven’t before, but do it anyway.  Practice makes you better.

Become a professional communicator.

Make your job smaller

What did you used to do, a task that you had to do and really owned, that you are still doing that you should delegate to one of your team members?

Tell me with the orange button.

Make your job smaller so you can do it really well, save time, be less stressed, and make space to do new and higher-value things.

Love and Work

“To think that a great love doesn’t involve work is just as mistaken as to think that great work doesn’t involve love.” – Dr. Mardy Groethe
