Leadership Tip of the Week

Be courageous and act courageously!

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather embracing your fear and taking bold action consistent with your commitment, anyways. If you want to be a bold leader, take a stand for your greatness and for what you are committed to. Then act from that declaration and platform unconditionally.

Remember, you may not have control over 90% of the circumstances that you have to deal with, but you have 100% control at all times over who you will be in the matter of dealing with any circumstances. Your attitude and mindset are your secret source. Practice dealing with everything unconditionally, as a leader and owner, not a victim.

A quote from Eleonor Roosevelt that inspires me:

“Do one thing every day that scares you”.

This sits on my desk and reminds and inspires me to be true to who I am. You may want to put this or any other quote you find inspiring, in front of you as well, if “Being Courageous” is your commitment too…Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather embracing your fear and taking bold action consistent with your commitment, anyways.

Unfortunately, when it comes to fulfilling aspirational goals and transformational change, there are two types of leaders: those who stay the course and those who don’t.
