How To Activate Your Drive To Achieve Success

You can achieve anything if you believe. But that is not what we do. Instead of doing what we can do, we are after what we cannot do.

‘Exposure activates curiosity.’

We are trying to change what we cannot change. We are after what others are doing, not what we can do to make our lives better.

Whether you want to hear this or not, according to Micheal Burt, ‘Nothing can change until you cut away the things that keep you stuck.’

‘We can prevent regret by exploring our talents and spending time working harder to match those talents with the correct work for us.’

‘When people lose the urge to fight, you can watch their progress gradually decline.’

‘When you distribute your talents to the world to solve big problems or bring new opportunities to people, you make yourself eligible for bigger payouts from the world.’

‘What you want to avoid is being in an environment where you don’t have to perform and are allowed to just goof off’

‘Without an environment that causes you to perform at a higher level, you contract to a place of comfort.’

‘You need people in your life– such as a coach, leader, mentor, or manager- who expect something from you.’

‘When you connect to your activator, you exude confidence.’

‘When you’re in the room with people distributing their talents at the highest levels with top levels of commitment and dedication to their craft, you have no choice to put up or shut up.’

‘Don’t allow yourself to fall complacent into believing that where you are is as big as you will ever get. Train your mind to be open to new people, new experiences, and better ways of operating.’

‘With persistence, the passion for the goal must be present, and there must be a consistency that you cultivate that takes an action and converts it to a habit.’

‘You must have a desire to move from pretending to contending. You need to want to do something big in order to actually do something big. To make this happen, you must remove the low-value activities you currently spend your time participating in.’

10 Leadership Secrets From Jack Welch

Great leaders never stop learning. As a leader, if you want your people to keep growing, you must never stop learning.

Because your people are not going to grow if you are not learning. Your organization is not going to grow if your people are not learning. And your customers are not going to be happy if your people are not growing.

To fix that, according to Jack Welch, ‘At the heart of this culture is an understanding that an organization’s ability to learn, and translate that learning into action rapidly, is the ultimate competitive business advantage.’

‘Find great ideas, exaggerate them, and spread them like hell around the business with the speed of light.’

‘What we are looking for … are … leaders who can energize, excite, and control rather than enervate, depress, and control.’

‘The only way to change people’s minds is with consistency.’

‘The operative assumption today is that someone, somewhere, has a better idea.’

‘Every layer is a bad layer. The world is moving at such a pace that control has become a limitation. It slows you down.’

‘Speed is the product of an open organization.’

‘You’ve got to balance freedom with some control, but you’ve got to have more freedom than you’ve ever dreamed of.’

‘Those who actually did the work … had some striking ideas on how things could be done better.’

‘Quality is the next act of productivity.’
