Achieve Your Dreams - We Mentor You

It’s our final day this week looking at five small things that will make an enormous difference in your life. Success isn’t the result of doing one huge thing right. Success is the result of doing 1,000 small things consistently, and that’s what working to focus on this week. So far we’ve looked at the importance of starting your day off right, flexing your creativity muscles, taking care of yourself, and yesterday, the importance of reading. On our final day this week, we’re going to talk about the importance of reflection. Our thought for the day comes from … Thomas Paine, one of America’s founding fathers, who said, “The real man smiles in trouble, gather strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection.”

Success is the result of doing 1,000 small things consistently.  That’s what we are working to focus on this week. The first thing we are going to look at is starting the day off right. If you start the day off right, you have momentum swinging in your direction. Start off wrong and you’ll be playing catch-up all day. If you’re anything like me, you’ll never catch up.

This week we’ve been looking at five traits of leadership. The five traits we’ve discussed define leadership and can be applied at any level in the organization from the executive suite to entry-level positions. Leadership, real leadership, is not defined by your position on the organization chart it is defined by your actions on a day-to-day basis. You can exercise leadership anywhere, and as we’ve gone through these five traits this week I hope you’ve built an understanding of that. As a matter of fact, if you are not currently in a leadership position and you don’t demonstrate these traits, it’s unlikely your view will ever change. So far we’ve looked at having winning standards, getting off the roller coaster, making sure we’re centered on our reference point, and being focused on values. We’re going to close out our series talking about the importance of teamwork.

This week we’re talking about dealing with tough times. Not just dealing with tough times, but beating them. You’ve been there, all of a sudden the world seems to have you in its sights. You look outside and it’s a bright sunny day but when you go out, you look up and BOOM! There’s a dark cloud spitting lightening right over the top of you. What to do? That’s what we’re going to deal with this week. So far we've discussed getting yourself in control, as hard as that sounds.  We learned you really don’t have to react immediately so take a deep breath and back away from the attack. Don’t react, think it through and act.  Then, we found out it’s all about vision.  Not losing sight of your goal. Next, we focused on solutions not THE PROBLEM!  You'll have plenty of time to look at the problem but don't do it now.  Yesterday, it was all about maintaining a positive attitude.  Your team will be looking for support and a positive attitude is the biggest boost you can give them. Today we're wrapping up by keeping things in perspective.  Today is NOT forever.  You've overcome challenges before and you'll do it this time.

That’s what we’re going to deal with this week. Today we’re going to discuss getting yourself in control, as hard as that sounds. If your tough times are like mine, you’re not going to be able to control most of what’s going on around you and the only thing you’ve got any shot at controlling is how you react. And how you act. Believe it or not – and it’s hard to believe when the lightening is striking all around you – how you react and act makes all the difference in the world. It can actually turn a disaster into a good thing. Really. Bottom line is you really don’t have to react immediately so take a deep breath and back away from the attack. Don’t react, think it through and act.
