To help [people] understand that what you shortcut today, cannot be made up tomorrow. So it's like, I'm not going to do anything today, and I'm going to do the wrong thing today and somehow tomorrow it will get a lot better."

The secret of successful people lies in their ability to discover their strengths and to organize their life so that these strengths can be applied.

What is your legacy? Are you intentional about the sort of influence you want to have on the world around you? Being aware of how you want to be remembered gives you a perspective on what is truly important. Leadership is influence, and relationships are the foundation of leadership. Nothing is more predictive of your legacy than the quality of people you surround yourself with.

Leaders touch a heart before they ask for a hand.

Find your vision, and let it guide you in all that you do. If you lack vision, look inside yourself. Draw on your natural gifts and desires.

Seek advice, but make sure it's from someone who has successfully handled mistakes or adversities.

How do leaders serve their people? They may pay good wages and treat employees with respect.
