The first person you lead is you.

I want to make a difference with people who want to make a difference, doing something that makes a difference.

Goals not only help you develop initial motivation by making your dreams obtainable, but they also help you continue to be motivated and that creates momentum.

Growth is the great separator between those who succeed and those who do not. When I see a person beginning to separate themselves from the pack, it's almost always due to personal growth.

People have a seed to success within them. Most never find it and therefore fail to reach their potential. Occasionally, a leader discovers it and helps that individual develop it. For both, they now can fulfill the purpose for which they are born.

Without a vision people and the church become self-centered. People start finding fault with one another and the church self-destructs.

As a pastor I reinforced my vision over lunches.
