Once our minds are 'tattooed' with negative thinking, our chances for long-term success diminish.

To add growth, lead followers - to multiply, lead leaders.

If I'm halfway to the dream, at best, half of my resources are there. Your resources to fulfill the dream will come during the last step of the dream.

You can't grow and learn if your focus is on finding someone else to blame instead of looking at your own shortcomings.

Failed plans should not be interpreted as a failed vision. Visions don't change, they are only refined. Plans rarely stay the same, and are scrapped or adjusted as needed. Be stubborn about the vision, but flexible with your plan.

To be an influencer, you have to love people before you can try to lead them.

It is hard to feel bad about yourself when you are doing something good for someone else. There are a lot of ways to lift your self-esteem, but making a positive difference in another's life has got to be my best leadership guidance. Serving others and working to add value to them will lift your spirits in a way that nothing else will. Trust me on this one.
