Thrive From Your Mistakes

Mistakes are inevitable.

When you make them, don’t write them off as disgrace that causes shame.

Accept them as gifts to help you jettison to newer heights.

Swim

The market is already in deep water, so no need to waste time and money on measuring its depth.

You’d rather focus energy on teaching yourself and those around you to swim.

Harness

Don’t waste your team’s inspiration and drive.

Harness it to move everyone forward.

What Do You Want to Be Known For?

If you want to be known for healing patients, demonstrate it.

If you want to be known for saving cost, demonstrate it.

If you want to be known for prattling, don’t worry about demonstrating anything.

Give Them What They Need

Your customers are not on a shopping spree where they can experience the thrill of buying something they’ve never purchased before.

They are answerable to a strict budget and financial goals.

Understand the tough situation they’re in and set them up for success.

Teacher

Who knows more than you in the room?

Let him be your teacher for the next hour so you leave the meeting better than you started.

You Need Them

You need every single person in the room to get from here to there.

That’s why you’d rather look for all the reasons they’re capable of contributing rather than quitting on them.

Now

Hurry.

Before your competitors will close in and time runs out.

Preeminence

Know your limits to then push them.

It’s interesting how humility to admit inadequacy actually leads to preeminence.

Time Is an Asset

If you waste time, it wastes you.

If you invest time, it builds you.

Use the time you’ve been granted to leap from hope to achievement, vision to reality, life to poetry, and devotion to strength.
