Legacy

We're not here no consume. We're here to contribute.  #personaldevelopment 

Momentum vs Motivation

We're 1-week into the new year.  You're either moving towards your goals or stuck in neutral.  Which is it?  Don't wait for motivation to arrive to inspire you to take action - just start.  In many cases motivation never arrives.  Motivation comes through momentum.  Once you take action, even the smallest of steps, momentum is created and with momentum, motivation arrives.  Consider those large 100-step spiral staircases.  When you're at the foot of the stairs looking up at all 100-steps, the task of climbing all those steps and be overwhelming.  So what do we do?  In many cases we either procrastinate or blow it all.  Just focus on the first step.  When you get to the first step, then look towards the second step.  A one-step at a time approach to your goals will result in you climbing all 100 steps.  You can drive 3,000 miles from NYC to LA at night by only seeing 20-feet at a time that your headlights provide.  Start your drive!   #personaldevelopment

Time Management

When you're working be fully on and when you're not working be fully off.  Treat your free time as the time to recharge from your work time.  Allow yourself to be bored.

Leadership

A Google study found that managers who "express interest and concern for team members success and personal well-being" outperform others in the quality and quantity of their work.  #leadership

Success

Success has less to do with what we can get ourselves to do and more to do with keeping ourselves from doing what we shouldn't.  #personaldevelopment 

Slow Down to Go Fast

It's hard to gain clarity and proper focus if you're moving too fast.  Systematically, pause, reflect and recalibrate.  #personaldevelopment 

Focus

It's amazing what you can accomplish when you get 1oo people all working together on just 3 priorities instead of 1,000.  #strategy

New Year!

New year, new you, new life.  The choice is yours.  Do it!  #personaldevelopment

Leadership

The single most important factor in determining the success or failure of a business is the mindset of its leaders.  It's how they think that makes the difference.  #leadership

Daily Grind

Everyone struggles.  Take solace in that.  If you aren't making mistakes you're not trying hard enough.   #personaldevelopment
