Authenticity is a powerful gateway drug into JPF: Joy/Peace/Freedom, isn’t it?

Few things shatter a human heart as much as reaching the end of your life and realizing that you lived it based on someone else’s terms.

Yes, it takes strength of character, deep courage and a craving for originality to break free of the seductive beliefs and habits of the herd...

And yet, working on these qualities are among the finest moves you can make to build your empire [whether an empire of money or fortunes of creativity, productivity, adventure or contribution to society].

Fulfillment comes from living your truth. Doing your values. Pursuing your dreams.

No point in getting to the end and realizing you never let the real you come out to play. A great life grows from an authentic one. Keep shining.

A Great Life Grows From an Authentic One

The things you schedule are the things you’ll get done.

Simple insight, yes. Game-changing if you live it. [The willpower researchers say that “pre-commitment strategies” like goal-setting work superbly in making change that endures].

So, early every Sunday morning set a discipline to build out your ideal week ahead. Add your workout blocks, your family meals and your massage periods. Write in your creative segments and record your times for team meetings. Get each of our key pursuits into the plan. Then lock and load on it, daily.

The Power of Pre-Commitment Strategies [to Fortify Your A-Game]

Getting good at communicating is like getting good at tennis: the more you practice, the better you’ll get.

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

Your relationship with others will never rise higher than the relationship with yourself.

Often, we are our greatest abusers. And when we increase the caring of our selves, we begin to sense the secret glory that rests at our base. And come to know all that we truly are.

As you love yourself more, you’ll grow intimacy with your natural genius, discover your truest powers and honor your highest self.

Some seasons will bring misfortune and some times will be hard. In the quiet times of my own life’s largest heartbreaks, I retreated from the world [like a wounded animal retreats to the woods for healing]. And I remained in the wilderness—befriending the pain and allowing it to purify me as much as possible.

How to Use Life's Hard Seasons as Fuel for Your Growth

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.

How Leaders Listen

You know I’m an evangelist around the whole idea of being ultra-fit if you want to be the best of breed. Getting into world-class physical condition is one of the smartest moves a leader (and remember-if you consume oxygen, you have the opportunity to behave like a leader) can make. Exercising will make you look better, feel stronger and fill you with boundless energy.

So join me. Please. Get up early and exercise. Simple idea. That just might revolutionize your career as well as your life.

Leadership has a lot to do with inspiration. Being uber-inspired helps you see solutions where others see problems. It helps you innovate. Move faster. And positively influence others. Please remember: you can’t inspire others until you get inspired. So we need you at your greatest. And absolute best.

You Can't Inspire Others if You Are Uninspired

You can’t have an A-level business with C-level performers. If you want to have more impact on your marketplace, develop your people to have greater impact and the quickest way to grow your company is to grow your people. I’m going to say that again because it’s ridiculously important. You might not need more people. You might not have to fire any people. Maybe you’re just not mentoring, coaching, inspiring, developing the latent talent in your people enough.

And remember - external leadership begins with internal mastery. You can’t help in the building of an extraordinary organization until you commit to becoming an extraordinary person.
