Your Attitude

The pessimist complains about the wind
The optimist expects it to change
The leader adjusts the sails

Excerpt from Developing the Leader Within You
by John C. Maxwell

Building the Man

We are blind until we see
That in the human plan
Nothing is worth the making
If it does not make the man
Why build these cities glorious
If man unbuilded goes?
In vain we build the world
Unless the builder also grows

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

Personal Ownership of a Vision

My friend Rick Warren says, "If you want to know the temperature of your organization, put a thermometer in the leaders mouth." Leaders can never take their people farther than they have traveled. Therefore, the focus of vision must be on the leader--like leader, like people. Followers find the leader and then the vision. Leaders find the vision and then the people.

Goal Setting 101

The power of goal setting is the part of growing a business that is most often left out. See, if we don't set a goal for how much residual income we want to have by a certain time or a certain date, then we are shooting arrows in the dark. How many times have we set new years resolutions that just fell by the wayside. This most likely happened because we never set a plan behind the resolution. What I like most about being an associate in Pre-Paid Legal is that we are being mentored by others that have gone through the process of setting and achieving goals. Pre-Paid Legal is a basically a goal setting and personal development program that has a great compensation plan attached.
