Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less. How do you gain influence from people? You invest in them. How do you invest in them? It starts with giving them time.
The first person you lead is you.
To be an influencer, you have to love people before you can try to lead them.
You will become on the outside, what you believe on the inside.
So think long and hard about who you’re spending the most time with, for wherever they are headed, so are you.
You are the only person who can label what you do a failure. Failure is subjective.
The measure of a leader is not the number of people who serve him, but the number of people he serves.
Becoming a good listener, you are able to connect with others on more levels and develop stronger, deeper relationships.
You’ll never know how close you are to a million-dollar idea unless you’re willing to listen.
Every person has seeds of greatness within, even though they may currently be dormant.
When your dream is bigger than you are, you only have two choices: give up or get help.
You can be a model to the masses, but to go to the higher levels of influence, you have to work with individuals.
Difficulties seldom defeat people; lack of faith in themselves usually does it.
Without love, there can be no connection, no future, and no success together.
Everything rises and falls on leadership.
No matter your title, people will not follow you if they don’t trust you.
To help people believe they can achieve victory, put them in a position to experience small successes.
Pay now, play later; play now, pay later.
Tend to the people, and they will tend to the business.
Your life today is a result of your thinking yesterday. Your life tomorrow will be determined by what you think today.
