‘Think incrementally. Face fears by breaking them down into small actions steps.’ Take one step at a time.’

‘Take corrective action. Have a plan B before you make a bold move. … Having a plan means you’re not going to be caught flat-footed if something doesn’t work out. You can keep moving forward.’

‘Expand your job whenever possible. Instead of refusing to do something that’s not in your job description, jump at the chance to learn a new skill and spend time with people whom you don’t see often or at all.’

‘Learn for longevity. You may not be the CEO of a large company, but you are the CEO of your own life.’

‘Learn from those you serve. Pay attention to your constituents and stakeholders, whoever they may be. You can learn a lot from the people who count on you for services and products.’

‘Stop procrastinating. … Break down big jobs into small ones. then do each job one step at a time. Remind yourself why you want to do it. If the timing isn’t right, figure out why and do it anyway.’

‘Evaluate yourself on output, not activity. When assessing how you spent your day, look at what you actually accomplished, not the amount of busy work you did.’

‘Deal with existing conditions; don’t be defined by them.’

‘Self-pity is just a trap, but it’s one you can get out of. Make it your business to implement a zero-tolerance policy for your own dark feelings and negative self-talk.’

‘Manage priorities. Look at what needs to be done to meet your goals strategically. Make sure you are doing tasks in the right order, which is the order that brings you to your goal the most efficiently.’
