A few quotes from this interview:

What do the best do differently to rise to the top and how do they stay there?

Learning how to fail and recover from failure is imperative for long-term success.

Negotiation isn't just about dollars and dominating. It's about connection, relationships and authenticity.

You have to get clear on what matters most to you.

After you are clear on what matters most, then you need to have the discipline to execute within the framework of your clarity.

Ask yourself... How do I show up as my best self in all my roles?

Bestselling author Jon Gordon talks with sports agent Kelli Masters. Kelli shares her journey of going from fear driven to purpose driven (and how you can do the same).

A few quoteables from this interview:

Don't ever let someone tell you that you are not enough.

Focus on what makes you different because that's what makes you great.

People ask me how I've grown my business, the answer is one relationship at a time.

Under promise and over deliver.

Be honest. Tell people the truth, especially when you don't know the answer.

Social networking isn't just about LinkedIn or Facebook... it's about developing real relationships with others.

You must have a picture of where you are going to help keep you stay anchored during tough times.

Your team doesn't have to all think alike but they must have a shared vision and purpose.

Fear is best overcome through action. You usually have to step out before the courage comes.

Speak life. Encourage others every chance you can.

Marshawn Evans Daniels | Purpose - Believing Bigger - Live Bolder Aug 22, 2018

Show notes

In this episode of Positive University we're sharing a special message from bestselling author and reinvention strategist, Marshawn Evans Daniels.

A few quoteable takeaways from Marshawn include:

We are created on purpose, with purpose from a place of purpose for a purpose.

If you don't know your purpose, you're not alone.

You have to FACE IT to FIX IT.

We're taught retirement instead of reinvention.

We're taught to pursue success instead of significance and careers instead of calling.

Don't get sick with the disease, the Disease to Please (other people).

Who you decided to be isn't always who God designed you to be. Believe bigger.

Don't believe the label that's a fable of who you really are. Labels often limit.

Do you have the Purpose Tug? That feeling like there is more? There's a reason (because there is).

Every Life Shift first begins with a Mind Shift.

Your life is not your own. What can you do to serve others?

Believe bigger. Live bolder.
