Here are the takeaways:
Greatness is not only the endpoint but the journey. It’s the hours, sweat, and energy that is put in to becoming great that really highlights one’s greatness.
Keep an idea journal. Write down 5 ideas everyday and choose the ones that have value to move forward on.
Acceptance is key in recognizing your greatness and resilience. Each peak is a victory to be celebrated.
Humble or huge actions today creates results of change tomorrow.
You don’t have to have all of the information to make a decision. If you wait, you’ll have missed the boat. Don’t hesitate to make decisions.
People refer to them as skills. Skills can be traded and bought as a commodity. Great people talk about what drives them, not what skill they have.
Great leaders give more than they take.
Once leaders level up or shift, they never go back to where they started. It’s not about bouncing back, it’s about bouncing forward. Greatness is the willingness and ability to adapt.
Change is all about disruption. It disrupts a behavior, pattern or mindset. When confronted with unforeseen circumstances, we can ask ourselves, “Is this an opportunity for me to change?”
Identify your personal cocktail that will put you in the flow so you can be creative and remember why you do what you do.
