How to Start Successfully (Part 1) Mar 06, 2019

Show notes

John Maxwell says the first person you must learn how to lead is yourself. This week, we're starting a new series called "How to Start Successfully." Spring is a time of year when we're thinking of new beginnings and starting fresh. How you start can set you up for success or set the stage for failure on the rest of your journey.

That's why, in this episode, we're not just talking about how to start––we're talking about how to start off right. John will dive into the importance of starting the journey with yourself and starting early.

Your host, Mark Cole, is joined by Jason Brooks to talk about the roles that setting priorities and developing your life philosophy play in starting a new endeavor successfully.

Thinking for a Change by John C. Maxwell

Ordinary to Extraordinary (Part 2) Jan 30, 2019

Show notes

Are you a leader or just a manager? According to John C. Maxwell, a manager's goal is to do things right. A leader's goal is to do the right things.

In this episode, we're continuing our discussion on moving from ordinary to extraordinary as a leader. John touches on the importance of realism, change, thinking, attitude, and planning in the journey to becoming extraordinary.

Mark and Richard follow up with a discussion on the balance between realism and creativity. How does a leader embrace realistic thinking without smothering the creative fire? They also explore why most people have the "if it isn't broken, don't fix it" mentality––a mentality that thwarts innovation and change.

Our BONUS resource for this series is the Ordinary to Extraordinary Worksheet, which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John's teaching. You can download the worksheet by visiting MaxwellPodcast.com/extraordinary and clicking "Download the Bonus Resource."

Ordinary to Extraordinary (Part 1) Jan 23, 2019

Show notes

The only difference between ordinary and extraordinary is the word extra. In this series, John teaches you eight things you need a little extra of in order to be extraordinary. In part one, John tells you the first three things you need to increase your respect, value, compensation, and perception.

Going the extra mile may be the one thing that makes you and your organization stand out among the rest.

During Mark and Richard's discussion, you'll learn that you cannot exceed expectations if you don't set them first. You'll be challenged to identify the areas where you can invest more time and effort so you can become extraordinary.
