“Thanks For Leading“
Leadership is scarce because few people are willing to go through the discomfort required to lead.
The scarcity makes leadership valuable. If everyone tries to lead all the time, not much happens. It’s discomfort that creates the leverage that makes leadership worthwhile.
In other words, if everyone could do it, they would, and it wouldn’t be worth much.
It’s uncomfortable to stand up in front of strangers.
It’s uncomfortable to propose an idea that might fail.
It’s uncomfortable to challenge the status quo.
It’s uncomfortable to resist the urge to settle.
When you identify the discomfort, you’ve found the place where a leader is needed.
If you’re not uncomfortable in your work as a leader, it’s almost certain you’re not reaching your potential as a leader.

Quote of the Day
in The Life, The QuotesThere are times in life where you are going to get dealt the worst hand, the only thing you can do is take advantage of it. Making something out of nothing is easier said then done, its a bitter sweet hustle, but you will reap all of the rewards. So take the sour part of live and turn it into a positive somehow. Grow your assets and I promise you that you will look at lemons in a different light. Sometimes they can be a good thing, and force you to look harder and see more then you ever thought you could.

Quote of the Day
in The Life, The QuotesThe only way to truly be of value is to be a master at at least one thing. The only way to do that is to stop spreading yourself thin with all of your other work. Pick one thing and be a master at that first. People will pay for someone that is a master at one thing over someone who is just ok at everything. By all means you can be multitalented but just know where your bread and butter is.

Quote of the Day
in The Quotes“Sometimes you gotta put down your Fresh Prince, and pick up your Carlton“
I know, I know, who wants to be Carlton Banks right? Well in real life, Carlton probably has a nice job with health benefits and assets coming from left and right. And Will? I cant call it but judging strictly from his work ethic he is probably slacking somewhere. Charisma and Personality goes a long way but not longer then the right tools and foundation. So next time you gotta make a decision about your life, make the smart one not the cool one. You never know who is thinking about hiring yo ass.
Yes i know tony yayo is in the picture.
