“Good is the enemy of GREAT”
What is leadership? The artistry of getting people to do what must be done.
What is your 20 mile march? What is it that you need to do every day/week no matter how tough things get? Don’t confuse consistent with slow…
“Luck favours the persistent” The big winners thought they were luckier… but what do we do with the luck we get… play the best you can with what hand you have…
What’s on your stop doing list?
How well do you relate to the thing in the mirror, or do you point out the window…
Creativity is our ability to seek innovation – How to gain the validation of what will work… first fire plenty of bullets, calibrate, then at some point fire cannonballs.
How will you change the lives of others, because you were here?
