Becoming A Good Leader: Part2

Today, we'll finish up part 2 on becoming a good leader.

As a leader, it is very important that you can handle criticism and direct feedback with discernment and grace. The first question you ask is WHO is bringing you that feedback. Evaluate if their input is important for you to learn from in order to bring change.

Next, it's so important to OWN when you make a mistake and take responsibility for those errors. 

When it comes to leading, it's critical you stop micromanaging your team and begin to set key priorities so they know where to invest their time and energy. 

As a leader, it's critical you become the most consistent learner in the room. Are you willing to do the hard work to be growing and being filled up?

How To Become The YOU of the Future!

In today's episode, we'll talk about how to be intentional about how to become the best version of the FUTURE YOU! 

Ten years ago, you WILL be somewhere. But will you have arrived in the place you are SUPPOSED to be?!

Step 1 is that you must decide WHERE you want to be and where you are called to GO. If you don't know where you are going, how are you going to know if you are on the right track. Begin with the END in mind!

Next, you take very clear SMALL steps toward your end goal. 

Most people don't get started because they feel overwhelmed and their task seems TOO big. That is why a small clear step can be so powerful! 

Another key is deciding who you need to become! What would the 10 years in the future you be telling you to do today? Would the future you be proud of the actions you are taking right now?

Becoming A Good Leader: Part 1

Today, we are starting a series on becoming a good leader.

The first thing you need to conquer is becoming good at leading yourself!

- BUILD self-discipline: Create frameworks that you install that keep you moving forward and doing the right thing whether things are high or low in your business and life.

- Practice patience: Do the hard work to prepare for endurance in the moments when things don't go as expected.

- Seek Accountability: Create a circle of leaders that you want to be like and learn from. A strong community of leaders can help push each other to be far better than any of you can be on your own.

- Develop your strengths: Optimize your time on the areas you can make the greatest impact for your team and your business.

- Minimize the time you spend on your weaknesses: delegate those areas or automate those areas.

Starting & Building Momentum

In this episode, we are continuing a conversation about momentum. Today, we'll talk about starting momentum!

 

Our primary question is "Does momentum last forever?" 

The answer is no. It is unlikely to last forever. 

 

There are several ways you can lose momentum. 

1. You don't realize you are IN momentum and therefore miss the reality that it is shifting away from your organization. Good leaders anticipate... poor leaders simply react. 

2. You don't understand momentum. Are you doing all the work or are you leveraging the strength of a team?

3. You can lose your INWARD momentum that then pulls down everyone around you. Are you still excited about the vision you are working on? If your cup is empty, how can you fill up someone else's cup?

Fueling Momentum

This episode is ALL about momentum and much of it comes from a talk that Craig Groeschel did recently!

We'll talk about how to get it and how to maintain it once you have it!

Momentum has a *lot* to do with your leadership and how it is perceived. 

Creating momentum is much like launching a rocket ship -- it takes FAR more energy to get it off the ground and out of the atmosphere than it does to keep it going once you get to altitude.

Momentum is getting everyone in alignment and everyone on the same page to maximize results!

You have to have a compelling VISION -- you personally knowing your WHY helps... but you also have to have a larger vision to invite others into!

One of the biggest mistakes leaders make is that they UNDERvalue the power of a clear vision. 

A lack of momentum is usually tied to a lack of vision! Your entire team needs to know where you all are going together! It needs to be clear, consistent and compelling.

3 Things That IMPACT Your Mindset

Today, we will talk about three things that help SHAPE your Mindset.

It's easy to think that you are in complete control over your mindset... but if we are not actively taking control of what drives our thoughts, that may not be the case at all!

The first major impact on your mindset is WHO you spend time with. Surround yourself with highly driven and highly motivated people that have the types of mindsets that you desire to experience. If you are around negative people, you'll be amazed at how quickly you find yourself in a negative head space! You are likely to become a LOT like the 5 people you spend the most time with. So who are you going to pursue to build relationship with? Having close friends that are happy and successful increase the likelihood that you will experience these things by 25%.

The second major impact on your mindset is your physical environment! What you SEE every single day makes a huge difference. Are your spaces filled with positive and affirming things that inspire you to move things forward? Are you creating spaces with design decisions that can influence your mood and your overall health? Having adequate natural light actually LOWERS anxiety and depression! 

The third significant impact is what you WATCH and what you READ. What you put into your mind will actually shape your thoughts and approach to life. We each need to be proactive about searching out positive things for our eyes to see and our ears to hear!

Mindset For Entrepreneurs & Leaders

In today's episode, we will discuss the importance of mindset for all Entrepreneurs and Leaders. 

Our brains are wired for SAFETY... to try to protect us from risk and harm. This is the software that was automatically installed in your brain! We have to start uninstalling this software so we can put a NEW way of operating into our way of being.

First and foremost, we need to have a curiosity mindset... which means we are geared toward learning. We all need to look for opportunities to look for new skills and new abilities that allow us to add more value to the people around us. If your knowledge doesn't change over time, you will actually be going backwards because you are STUCK in time. 

Next, it's important for us to protect a mindset of gratitude. We need to shift from a position of expectation to appreciation! People that have a gratitude mindset are more joyful and feel far more secure. They are far more fulfilled than those who walk in entitlement! 

Third - we need an abundance mindset! When you have an abundance mindset, you are getting rid of scarcity and fear... which will help you walk in the revelation that you can actually go out and CREATE more!

Finally, you need an exponential mindset. We are going to not only grow 10X ... but we are going to grow 100X over the next 10 to 20 years. Things are accelerating - will you accelerate with them?

Sales & Money Are Bad!!

In today's episode, we are talking about how sales & money are BAD...

These are two topics that MANY people misunderstand.

SO many of us were pre-programmed with unhealthy thoughts about both of these topics... 

This is especially true of the idea of "sales people." 

However, when you begin to understand that if you are someone who "sells" ... that you can choose to become a person who serves and seeks to add value to people's lives! Coming from a place of wanting to HELP others shouldn't be stressful for you or the person you are serving.

Getting excited about SHARING will help draw other people to what you are excited about!!

9 Ways You Can Gain An Advantage

In today's episode, we are going to discuss 9 different ways that you can gain an advantage.

 

1. Raw Talent & Intelligence 

Either you are born with this... or you're not. 

 

2. Hard Work

Nothing can replace this advantage. The person who works how to hustle can be successful even if they have limited talent. Will you outwork everyone else in the room?

 

3. Differentiation

The ability to see the world differently and DO something differently than others. 

 

4. Processes & Disciplines

These habits can set you apart when you stick with them over the long term. The power of compounded consistency will make ALL the difference. 

 

5. Talent Collector

Are you drawing a HIGH level team around you? Will the people you have gathered raise the standard to a whole new level? Surround yourself with amazing people!

 

6. Patience

A lack of patience changes outcomes... operating in a hurried manner often forces BAD decisions. We need to be people who take a moment so we can RESPOND rather than simply REACTING to something poorly.

 

7. The Ability to Endure PAIN

There is no growth without failure. You'll never be an expert at something the 1st time you do it. Are you willing to look like a fool to improve at something? How much RISK are you willing to take?

 

8. Temperament

Are you able to keep a cool head when everyone else is walking in fear?

 

9. Luck

Sometimes you just have to be in the right place at the right time.

The Hardest Level of Leadership

Today we'll have a conversation about what can be the HARDEST level of leadership... SELF leadership. So often, the hardest person to lead is MYSELF!

There is a difference between someone in a leadership position and someone who can actually lead with strength, clarity and humility.

There are three leadership abilities...

1. The ability to lead people.

2. The ability to help your team or organization grow.

3. The ability to influence people.

When you're leading yourself, you have to decide WHO you are. You need to build on your strengths. AND you need to develop a peaceful center. 

Who you are and what you do actually speak much louder than simply what you SAY. Your actions speak louder than words. 

Identifying what you are great at will help you figure out the areas where you can grow and develop your influence.
