Copying what your competition is doing just leads to being second best.

Only leaders who are willing to think differently can out-innovate everyone around them. Thinking the same thoughts produces the same results. Leadership is all about being The Brave Creative out in front in your marketspace (and your career) versus doing things the way everyone else does them.

Business doesn’t need more copycats. Business needs more Dreamers.

If You're Copying Others, You're Betraying Yourself

Definitely listen to this episode if you want to discover how the geniuses, business superstars and ultra-effective people measure their level of mastery in all areas of their lives.

One Powerful Metric to Measure Your Level of Mastery By

Great businesses and world-class lives are not created in a day, but by steady and consistent refinement. So celebrate every win. Because small daily improvements when done consistently over time really do lead to stunning results.

Celebrate the Micro-Wins [and Build-In Rewards] for Sustained Success

In 2021, read, write, strategize and reflect for at least 60 minutes a day. For breakthrough results.

[Please don’t tell me you are too busy to spend at least 60 minutes a day learning. Some of the busiest people I know read or listen to CDs or do online training for at least an hour a day].

A lot of people are too busy being busy. Shift from being busy to getting results.

Success Belongs to the Relentless Learner

If you can’t lead yourself, you can’t lead others. We have no business leading others into greatness if our own personal lives are a trainwreck.

Being successful in the game of life precedes great leadership. Face whatever personal issues you’ve been avoiding head on and clean up on all fronts.

Hope this message helps you build an extraordinary company and an exceptional movement in these uncertain times.

Leader Lead Thyself

"Lucky" is a myth. World-class performance is less about your genetics and more about your habits.

Morning routines and nightly rituals and your nutritional plan and your work habits are the regimes that deliver staggering success. You are built to grow. And you have been designed to adapt. Make the decision to start the new practices that will help you live your genius. And then show it to the world.

World-Class Performance is Less About Your Genetics and More About Your Habits

We are shaped by our conversations. We are influenced by the ideas we hear and the people we meet. Listening is a master skill for personal and professional greatness. Leaders listen. Staggeringly well.

When we go deep into listening to the person we are communicating with, we truly have the opportunity to get behind their eyeballs and learn, grow and evolve into our highest and best from their sharing. And if you are lucky enough to be talking to the right person – at the right time – that single conversation might be the one to change the way you think, feel and behave.

Listen Deeply to x5 all of Your Relationships

Most of my life is spent working with teams in companies – helping grow leaders at all levels. I hear so much talk about "our competitors" and "how hard it is to win in these tough times" and that "the market’s shrinking." 

Thinking about your competition is a waste of time and a loss of minutes that you could be using to innovate and arrive at new forms of excellence. Every minute you spend worrying about and benchmarking your peers is a moment you’ve stolen from innovation, building a better team and growing your own brand. 

Now is a superb time to create even more value for your customers and be of acute use to even more people. Work on your professional knowledge and career skills even more. Listen to audiobooks, podcasts and coaching resources so you leap ahead of your previous leadership self. The marketplace demands [and will reward] your mastery as never before. And you’ll be an absolute standout. Which is what I wish for you.

Why You Shouldn't Focus On Your Competition in 2021

There’s zero doubt in my mind that you were made to become a masterful communicator. And by making the trait of being terrifyingly transparent in your communication, you’ll get to genius in the way you connect quicker than you might imagine.
