Turning Excuses Into Results

Here is the good news: ‘You are the Source of Your Suffering- and That’s the Good News.’

Choose to be happy. ‘Happiness is not correlated to perfect circumstances or a lack of stress in your life, but to the amount of personal accountability you accept.’

Ask yourself, ‘What am I missing?’ Because ‘what is missing from a situation is that which you are not giving.’

Do not feed your ego. ‘A bad day for the ego is a good day for the soul of a leader.’

Stay away from micromanaging people. ‘If you feel you have to over-manage or micromanage, it is because you are under-leading.’

Stop hiring and promoting the wrong people. ‘You will have problem employees for as long as you continue to hire them and put up with them.’

Take action. ‘It is nearly always action– not opinion- that adds the most value.’

Always do what you say you are going to do. Because ‘clarity is the source– not the product- of a highly efficient and successful team.’

Trust is a choice.’
