Leadership Principles From The Last Dance
Wednesday Sep 23, 2020
Wednesday Sep 23, 2020
Today's conversation between Chad Kneller and Martevious Young and I is in response to an incredible message from John Maxwell about all the leadership lessons we can learn from the life of Michael Jordan portrayed through The Last Dance.
Here are some of the high points:
Experience is NOT the best teacher - you have to choose to LEARN from your experience in order to get BETTER. Sometimes wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes all by itself.
There may have been 20-25 basketball players that had MORE talent than Michael Jordan... what made him great wasn't his level of talent. It was how hungry he was to be the best and to constantly be improving.
The margin between winning and losing is SO small. The daily disciplines over time are what separate those who win and those who lose. It's the tiny decisions that seem to make no difference in the moment that make ALL the difference over time.
Patience vs. Pressure -- If we put too much pressure on someone, we will repel them. We have to have the patience to lead people with the amount of weight they can handle in the season they are in.
Mental toughness is the CORE of a champion. Our mind is like a garden - if we aren't constantly in there pulling the weeds and adding the fertilizer, we lose ground.

Teamwork // Synergy
Thursday Sep 17, 2020
Thursday Sep 17, 2020
Today's conversation between Chad Kneller and Martevious Young and I is in response to the fifth part of an amazing series from Denis Waitley called Winning For Life. This fifth session is about how a solid team that operates with synergy can accelerate any dream and any organization!
Here are some of the high points:
On a strong and healthy team, everyone achieves more than they can individually.
Quality leadership welcomes input and is open to suggestions from people at every single level of the organization!
Leadership cannot be top down or bottom up -- it has to be circular.
The more power you have, the less you should have to show and use that authority.
The #1 thing that Millennials and Gen Z are asking for is to be heard.
Help your team craft aggressive, but realistic goals that help them take clear action steps daily toward progress!
The intimidation style of command and control leadership has lost its potency as culture has changed!

Discipline: Are You Willing To Pay The Price?! 💪
Thursday Sep 10, 2020
Thursday Sep 10, 2020
Today's conversation between Chad Kneller and Martevious Young and I is in response to the fourth part of an amazing series from Denis Waitley called Winning For Life. This fourth session is about the importance of discipline and how we all have to decide if we are willing to pay the price!
Here are some of the high points:
"No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on however it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it." Hebrews 12:11
We don't do what we know, we do what we learn... what we consistently are willing to put the reps in to do! If you only take action when you FEEL like it, you will never produce anything of long term value that can sustain.
Who is in charge of your software? Who trains the way you think and has influence in what you believe? These questions are more important than we could possibly realize.
Habits are submarines - they run silently in our lives DEEP below the surface of who we are! T
he cornerstones of healthy habits:
- A daily dynamic routine over a long period of time.
- Take ownership of healthy and unhealthy habits.
- You have to create the right environments.
VISUALIZATION -- the imagined self. Where do you SEE yourself arriving in the future? There couldn't be a more important question and exercise!

A Defined Destination Creates FOCUS
Wednesday Sep 02, 2020
Wednesday Sep 02, 2020
Today's conversation between Chad Kneller, Martevious Young and I is in response to the third part of an amazing series from Denis Waitley called Winning For Life. This third session is about how important it is to SET a clear destination for your LIFE - where do you feel called to go and why!?
Here are some of the high points:::
A dream is what you want your life to look like... but a goal is a dream with a deadline. We often spend more time planning our one week vacation than we do planning the life we feel called to live.
Are you getting to design and live an extraordinary life?
The brain is a homing torpedo target seeking mechanism!! What you put your focus on is what you will find consistently over time.
You can work your fortune part time in the midst of working your job full time! If you're faithful over time, your part time energy has the potential to produce significantly more resources than your full time occupation.
We should all be pursuing SOMETHING... or else we will not arrive ANYWHERE!
There isn't one FORMULA for success and the path to get there isn't defined because each person's "success" can look totally different! Everybody's path is different, which is why the comparison game is incredibly dangerous.
Give people something they can actually go out and do... something they can take action on clearly and quickly.

Personal Responsibility

Wednesday Aug 26, 2020
Today's conversation between Martevious Young and I is in response to the second part of an amazing series from Denis Waitley called Winning For Life. This second session is about self determination and personal responsibility!
It's SO easy to become complacent... good is the enemy of GREAT! Complacency turns to apathy, which can eventually become dependency. What areas of your life have you (by default) settled in and stopped pushing and growing? It could be your marriage, your business, your physical heath or even your walk with God! No society across history has been able to escape the path of complacency to dependency. Will you do your part to change the outcome for yourself and your family?
People who are optimistic and looking for opportunity are usually the people who will FIND amazing things.
You can only SPEND time -- you cannot SAVE time... so how will you invest the most precious resources you have?
You control what you THINK and you control your WHY! How will you handle those each and every day?

The Inner Winner: Belief
Thursday Aug 20, 2020
Thursday Aug 20, 2020
Today's conversation between Chad Kneller and Martevious Young is in response to the first part of an amazing series from Denis Waitley called Winning For Life. This first session is about belief and activating your Inner Winner!
Here are some of the high points:
It's one thing to SHOUT... it is another thing to live as an example.
Our world doesn't need another critic, but desperately needs people who are able to live as role models who are willing to encourage others and stay positive!
Stop telling yourself what you should do... and start telling yourself what you are GOING to do!
No person in history has ever been surprised they won a gold medal at the olympics... they have envisioned that moment thousands of times. We all have a dominating thought that we are moving toward, whether good or bad. What is that dominating thought that has captivated you and that you are constantly moving toward!
When we can harness our emotions toward something productive, they can help launch us to success... but our emotions can also drive us away from the place we are called to go if we let them!
