YOU WILL REMAIN WHERE YOU ARE IF YOU DON'T DO THIS !


You need to do this. Your success requires. You will remain where you are if you don't do this.

When is the last time you engaged with someone that has greater influence than you, with the purpose of learning from them to grow, equip, and empower yourself so you can do the same for others ?

As living organisms who have the ability to constantly learn, and develop. Therefore we have the capability to constantly grow. In order to constantly grow we must expose ourselves to things, resources, and people who have something greater to share than we have experienced or have knowledge of.

Plants must be exposed to natural light and be provided water on a regular basis in order to grow. However if plants remain in the same small pots they started in their roots will be restrained and so will their growth.

Throughout our lives we will eventually run into people who will motivate us and encourage us ..hopefully they get to us in time. Growth and development is like oxygen to our success. We can't hope we will get it.  Growth and development  is like blood that runs through our veins that assist in providing elements to our muscles.  If we do not exercise those muscles and expose them to challenges that build and strengthen them they will cease to get stronger and are useless at taking us any further than we have gone.

If you want to get on your journey, make progress on journey, and eventually reach your goal you must be INTENTIONAL about GROWING.

What is your plan to meet and engage with influential people who can assist you in growing and developing ?

Who are you surrounded by on a weekly basis that is equipping and empowering you to get to your GOAL.

*DO NOT CONFUSE THIS WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE PROVIDING YOU WITH RESOURCES, AN ENVIRONMENT, TRAINING AND ENCOURAGEMENT TO KEEP YOU IN A PLACE WHERE YOU ARE TOO COMFORTABLE TOO MOVE FORWARD TOWARD PROGRESS.

In order to grow and develop you must surround and systematically engage with people who will share with you knowledge, information and resources that will EMPOWER and EQUIP you. These people will allow you to transform and transition to places where you will be CHALLENGED in order to GROW to where to want to GO.

Take 60 minutes of your day to :


1. Find a coach you can engage with on a regular basis that will assist you in getting to your goal.

2. Find  several mentors you can talk to who have accomplished what you want to accomplish. Get on their calendar each month to share your plans and experiences so they can provide you feedback.

3. Join a group and organization that meets  regularly that supports your goal.

4. Evaluate your circle of associates and friends and make a list of ways you can adjust that circle to include people that will add value to you and limit your time with people who do not.

If you FAIL to be INTENTIONAL on taking these actions in order to GROW you will remain where you have always been.

5. Make time on your daily/weekly schedule to grow. WRITE IT DOWN NOW !! What time will you do it ? Where will you do it ? With whom will you do it ? How long will you do it ?

"Don't find an excuse. Find a way."
