To go nowhere, follow the crowd.

If you want to lead people, you have to let them come up close.

The only thing a title can buy is a little time-either to increase your level of influence with others or to undermine it.

Delegate - work smarter not harder; do what you do best and drop the rest; get control of your calendar; do what you love because it will give you energy; work with people you like so your energy isn't depleted.

All visions begin with relationships. My relationship with God is where I receive the vision; my relationship with my people is where I give the vision. If those relationships aren't what they could be or should be, on either side, the receiving or the giving out, the vision is going to be aborted.

To Stay Focused in Life: You can't know everyone You can't do everything You can't go everywhere We have to pick and choose between good and a little bit better.

When the pastor and his or her church have a vision, they will put their energy, time, money, and personnel into achieving it.
