Creativity and Innovation are everywhere, but you have to want it badly enough to do the hard work, the work that most aren’t willing to do. Like this:

Human Nature To Criticize
Criticize ourselves?
Hardly.
Criticize others?
Constantly.
It’s human nature.
It also helps medicate our insecurities.
And doing the opposite is a great way to improve our chances for success.
What Are You Worth?
Most people are afraid to ask this question.
And if they do have the courage to answer it, most likely, it’s an inflated view.
Why is this?
It’s because we place the value on two things that are not relevant:
- What we did in the past
- What we intend to do in the future
Take a look at the stock market, or baseball.
Past performance and future goals may be indicators, but they are far from perfect math.
What are you doing right now that makes you indispensable?
Right now, today, what makes you the clear choice, the most expensive valuable choice?
Oops!
Being a (great) leader makes you a target. A target for small minds to nit-pick your faults and missteps.
Better get used to, eh?
Humans are perfectly imperfect. You know what I’m talking about, right? Good.
Case in point:
The previous two days, on a New Mexico business trip, I had a misstep each morning. I’m committed to starting every single day on my knees. No exceptions.
The first day, it was only 7:30AM when I realized I had forgotten, and found a quiet place.
Yesterday, it was 7:30PM, as I pulled into our driveway.
So I went over to our canine (Pet) son’s grave and finished the day on my knees.
There are some things we should be flexible on and some we shouldn’t.
As a leader, are you clear about which is which, and why?
If Your Goal Isn’t
If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.
