If you want a CEO role, you have to prepare for it with a vengeance.

Discipline gives you the freedom to be creative.

The leader is the person who brings a little magic to the moment.

I do think the position I play is a powerful position.

Balance suggests a perfect equilibrium. There is no such thing. That is a false expectation.... There are going to be priorities and dimensions of your life, how you integrate them is how you find true happiness.

The thing that I learned early on is you really need to set goals in your life, both short-term and long-term, just like you do in business. Having that long-term goal will enable you to have a plan on how to achieve it. We apply these skills in business, yet when it comes to ourselves, we rarely apply them.

Don't just let your career happen to you. You need to be strategic about how you define your leadership journey and where that takes you.
