Successful people...focus on the rewards of success: learning from their mistakes and thinking about how they can improve themselves and their situations.

They can't hurt you unless you let them.

Leadership is not a right-it is a responsibility.

Leaders provide for their people what the people cannot provide for themselves.

The size of a person is more important than the size of the problem.

The greatest enemy of good thinking is busyness.

In my leadership conferences, pastors ask, "Do you have a vision for my church?" Many times they want me to give them a picture of where they should go and what their church should look like. When these pastors do this, I always feel bad.
