LEADERSHIP INSIGHTS
- A mastermind is a peer advisory group – a “board of directors” – of people who know you intimately.
- Operate your business according to your core values, but don’t use your core values against anyone.
- When you are sharing resources with other growth-minded individuals, you will all grow together, creating an exponential effect.
- Good masterminds are not for the faint of heart. They are focused on results and forward momentum.
- “Can’t couldn’t do it, and could did it all.”
QUESTIONS TO INSPIRE US TO ACTION
- What is some lesson, saying, or experience that continues to influence your leadership to this day? Not being afraid – fear missing an opportunity more than you fear failure!
- Use three descriptors to finish this sentence: “A leader is…” A person with great clarity, a great amount of courage, a huge amount of passion.
- What is a question that leaders should be asking either themselves or others? What is it that you are lying to yourself about?
- What book would you recommend to leaders? Many! But one that everyone should read is How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
- If you could get every listener to start doing something THIS week to help them be a better leader, what would it be? Be consistent.
- As a general life principle, is it better to ask “why?” or “why not?” “Why?” Because they “why not?” will work itself out if you know the “why?”
