There is definitely a connection between finding your passion and reaching your potential. People ask me all the time, 'John, how do I know what I am meant to do in life?' The answer is really simple: Energy and Excellence. When you experience unbounded energy in what you are doing, when you are driven to excellence in your work and love what you do - then you can rest assured that you have found your passion and are definitely in pursuit of your full potential.

People who add value to others do so intentionally. I say that because to add value, leaders must give of themselves, and that rarely occurs by accident.

Feed your faith, starve your doubts.

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.

But the law of magnetism really is true: who you are is who you attract.

The bookends of success are starting and finishing. Decisions help us start; discipline helps us finish.

I say, make the decision, and as soon as you make the decision, the rest of your life you just manage that decision on a daily basis.
