Episode 158: "A Leader Who Conquers."

Greetings, Summit Leaders.

I am so grateful to be associated with a group of leaders who exhibit conviction, courage, and confidence.

Great leaders overcome the enemies of fear, doubt, and unbelief continually on their daily life journey and career.

A Summit Leader inspired me with his recounting of daily victories he enjoys. The renewing of his mind is transforming him into his vision of becoming "the best version of myself."

He smiles, and his countenance shines as he recalls the tough challenges he overcame, such as doubting his ability to create value and make an impact with our customers and clients.

He is taking the time to journal and document his progress. He shows me his journal entitled "Look, Do, and Be your best."

He impacts his team and clients through his skills and continues practicing to get better and stronger.

I love his can-do attitude, which is symbolic of all Summit Leaders!

He, like all of us, believes that we are here for such a time as this.


He understands that there is a process to follow, and perseverance, patience, and practice are essential in accomplishing the "good things" ahead.

In the last decade of life, John Wooden, considered to be one of the greatest basketball coaches of all time, was asked what he missed most about coaching. His one-word answer? "Practice."

In his book, Win Day By Day, Mark Batterson shares insight into the focus of practice by the late Kobe Bryant. During an interview, someone questioned Kobe about what they believed to be a fundamental, very dull workout. Kobe said, "Why do you think I'm best in the world? I don't get bored with the basics."

Excellent skills and abilities occur through consistency in practicing the disciplines necessary for success.



Our Summit Leader summarized his mindset with the 3 R's: Reflect, Rewards, Routines.

Reflect: "I appreciate the work I have put into my growth."
Rewards: "I allow myself space and time to enjoy my little victories" - For example, he takes a nice walk alone and does a little painting or other low-intensity activities.
Routines: "When I select specific habits and do them, I feel in tune with my purpose. I enjoy the small wins each day. I feel like a champ!

Now that he is enjoying success, I admire his humility.

He is thinking about serving others more than himself.
Someone wisely said, "Pride comes before destruction. Humility comes before honor."

He is focusing on the need he sees for maintaining balance and setting proper priorities. He is enjoying harmony and peace.

From ancient times, great leaders practiced essential disciplines and principles and accomplished great works in serving others.

In leading, don't let kindness and truth leave you; bind them on your neck and write them on the tablet of your heart. Somehow, this approach wins.

David, a king during ancient times, is a great example. He is known as a great leader. Someone said,
"He cared for them with a true heart and led them with skillful hands. He is a man after my own heart."


You are victorious!



Victory!
