Peter Drucker said “The best way to predict the future is to create it.” This is a great quote. I had a nice conversation recently that reminds me of this. I talked to a guy who was really down about his business and everything else really. He began believing the negative news. He was watching things that had absolutely no impact on him, but internalized these things so much that he was actually seeing the negative impact. He was letting these outside forces impact his internal plans. I'm so much the opposite of this. I don't care what other people are doing, it doesn't change my plans. I try to focus my time and effort on the things that are closest to me, and the things I can actually adjust to affect change in MY world. The little person on the TV screen can talk about how bad it is, but I focus on how to make it good here, for our people.

Satya Nadella said “Our industry does not respect tradition — it only respects innovation.” Wow... I had to check into this to see what industry they're talking about, it was an email to all employees on Satya Nadella's first day as CEO of Microsoft back in 2014! The computer and tech industry really does lean into innovation. When AI was unleashed on the world a few years ago, it made a major ripple in things at these companies. We happened to be visiting some friends about a month after Chat GPT was introduced. Our friend that we were visiting is a programmer at Microsoft. His department was working extra hours to make themselves less expendable to the company. It worked! When they laid off thousands of programmers, our friend and his whole team were sparred! What do YOU do to give yourself better chances?

Jim Rohn said “Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day.” YES! If you need help understanding this, I'll do my best. Think about exercise. If you spend one full day working every muscle in your body for hours, you'll be exhausted and it's not really gonna make much of a long-term difference in your life. BUT, if you spend a few minutes every day working on certain area, like your legs or arms or whatever you want to focus on, you'll start to see results right away, with just a few minutes every day. If you spend more time you get more results, up to a certain point. The magical thing is not the few minutes part, it's the every day part. If you do something, anything, for a little bit each day, you'll notice results! The more you do it, the better you get. So take a little time each day to get better at something!

Brené Brown said “Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.” I love this. When you think of courage, who do you think of? Is there someone in YOUR life that just embodies courage in every way? In history, we can see stories of people who were courageous. Think of little David, going up against Goliath. That took courage. Think of the Founding Fathers of the United States. There were 56 men who signed their name on a document that was a break up letter to the KING in England. That was treason. Many of them lost everything, including their lives. That took courage. I think about the First Responders I know. I have several friends who are firefighters and police officers. They run into a fire or towards an accident when others run away. They do this completely filled with courage!

Simon Sinek said “Leadership is not about being in charge. It is about taking care of those in your charge.” Excellent quote! Have you ever been in charge? I have. Many times, actually, but I'm gonna talk about the first time I felt like I was in WAY over my head. I was 29 years old. I had been in radio for about a dozen years, but I had never been the one in charge of much. I had been a manager, but only for a few people. Then I accepted a sales manager position. I told the company I'd stay for one year, no matter what. I wanted to quit on my very first day. I was in over my head. My local boss was not a nice man and I was in charge of 20 salespeople. I was younger than most of them. I walked into that with many questions, but I was blessed to have good people who joined me on my mission. Together we made a really big difference that year.
