14 Bullet Points - What I Learned from John Maxwell-3

By

John Maxwell

 

 

This is the third post about what I learned the last week of February in Orlando from John Maxwell.

We must take action on what we learn - implement ideas - form new habits.  Which little nuggets of gold below hit you?

  • You don't want to be good sometimes - you want to be good ALL the time!
  • You have to set your own standards.
  • Expect more from yourself than what others expect from you.
  • Love where you are right now.
  • Wherever you are right now is where you should be.
  • Refuse to live off of your past.
  • Respect must be EARNED daily.
  • If you want to get better - ask for feedback...all the time!  Feedback is the catalyst for teaching.
  • You see yourself through your intentions.  Others see you through your actions.
  • Only travel the HIGH Road!
  • Don't take advantage of another person - even if you can!
  • It is impossible to offer excuses and still exceed expectations.
  • Give 100% at key times during the day.  It is impossible to be at 100% the entire day.  Pick your sweet spots.
  • Focusing is the single-most important skill in excellence.  Be tenacious about staying there!

Good evening John. It seems as if you learned quite a bit in your seminar. These are always good to get the juices flowing.

John, these are all such good points, and we should all remember that we are what we choose from the moment we wake up in the morning until the time we close our eyes in slumber.  What a great way to remind us.  Thanks.

Oh yes, I love John Maxwell.  I've read a couple of his books.  Great takeaways.

Michael Thornton - You always leave conferences with so much information, don't you?  I'm sure that happened to you in Dallas!!!  The BIG task is sorting through which ones you can actually implement!

Patrick White - thanks for stopping by!  My "follow" is coming your way!

Thanks for the reminder, Suzanne McLaughlin - so true!

Debbie Gartner - yeah - he is going to have a new one coming out this fall about living intentionally - that is going to be right in my sweet zone!  He has a new book out now called "Good Leaders Ask Great Questions" which is really good stuff - even for questions to ask ourselves, etc.
