A Winner's Mindset (Part 1) Feb 01, 2023

Show notes

Anybody else out there find it hard to believe January is already over? When time seems to fly like this, it often makes us pause and reflect and ask, "Did I spend that time the way I wanted to?" It reminds us that we need to spend every day with the mindset of a leader––the mindset of a winner. So, today, we're starting a new two-part series that focuses on "A Winner's Mindset."

This is a lesson in which John Maxwell shares 6 thoughts that winners keep in mind every day. These thoughts will help you maintain a big picture mindset and help you remember the most important part about leadership––valuing others. After John's lesson, Mark Cole is joined by one of the biggest winners we know, Traci Morrow. They discuss John's points and offer some application to help you apply these principles to your own life and leadership.
