  • BONUS - Live2Lead The Power of Intentionality

    321Grow BONUS - This episode was recorded on the way to Live2Lead Houston 2019 Live Simulcast with John C. Maxwell, Chris Hogan, Angela Ahrendts, Marcus Buckingham and Rachel Hollis.  

    As a John Maxwell Executive Director, I had the privilege of hosting this year's simulcast.  During the simulcast, we invited everyone to join the 321Grow community.  Welcome to all you everyday leaders and entrepreneurs who made the investment in yourself and your team today.

    Nothing great has ever been achieved by accident!  The Power of Intentionality says that personal growth doesn't happen accidentally.  John C. Maxwell says that the greatest gap in the world is between knowing and doing!  What are you doing today to be intentional about growing yourself and your team?  

    " People are anxious to improve circumstances but unwilling to improve themselves.  They, therefore, remain bound!  - James Allen

    Four steps to intentional growth

    1. To grow yourself you first need to know yourself.  All growth begins with a personal and honest assessment of where you are, your strengths and your weaknesses.  
    2. If you don't know where you are going (your destination/ vision), how will you know when you arrived?  All growth comes when we have a vision for our lives, a clearly defined destination.
    3. Just keep swimming!  The law of atrophy ways when movement ceases things begin to die.  Get started, don't wait, adjust along the way.
    4. Find someone to follow - The greatest leaders are also the greatest followers.  Seek wisdom from those ahead of you.

    6. Season 1, Episode 23 If Only...

      If only I would have... If only I had... If only they didn't... If only someone...

      If only are the words of regret!  Regret is review mirror thinking and never leads us to the desired destiny of our preferred future.  

      In this episode, we look at the danger of an If only mindset and how to move from viewing our future through regret to viewing our future through possibility.

    10. 321Grow BONUS - A Bike Ride Through Houston

      This bonus podcast is also a video that you can watch over on the 321Grow Facebook Group.  Join the community today!  

      When you join 321Grow you can watch this podcast as well as other great conversations and encouraging posts! https://youtu.be/67c9L5YkSAo

      Just over a year ago, we sold our dream home and moved into the city!  While everyone else is moving out of the city, we decided to move into the city!  We are in a high rise in the med center right across from the zoo, and we love it!  Every Saturday my wife and I ride bikes through the city, stop at a new breakfast spot and enjoy the miles of trails through the city.  

      This morning on our ride we passed a mom out on the trails early in the morning.  She was working out doing lunges with her baby in her arms.  Way to go, mom!  You know that had to be hard, she could have easily stayed at home and given up on her workout and no one would have cared.  But there she was in full workout mode, strengthening herself and making herself better and stronger.  

      Another mile down the road and we rode through the TSU campus and I thought about all the students that go to school, probably taking on debt to do so.  Those students have chosen to make their lives better and to give themselves the best chance for a future and a hope.  

      What's the point?  The mom and the students made an intentional choice to improve their lives and to make themselves better.  Being intentional is the key to growth!  If you want to lead others, reach your potential, leave a legacy then you must be intentional to invest in yourself first.  

      What area do you need to move from someday thinking to NOW actions?  It's not too late!  Let's get growing!

      I hope you enjoyed today's bonus podcast.

    13. Season 1, Episode 19 Leadership Lessons from Red Rover!

      When I was a kid in school we would play a game called Red Rover.  Our teacher would divide us into two groups and line us up across from each other.  We would be instructed to hold hands and then yell to the other team... Red Rover Red Rover, let (insert the name of the smallest and weakest person from the other team) come over!  The object was for that person to pick the weakest point and run as fast and hard as they could through our line trying to break the connection.  If they broke our handhold they would pick someone from our team to become part of their team.  If they failed to break our line they became part of our team.  

      In today's podcast, we talk about relationships and connection.  The more time we spend in a real relationship the more we begin to see the good, the bad and the ugly of the other person.  Often when we get to the ugly we leave or break the relationship.   What would it take to stick instead of leave?  

      We just opened up a 321Grow Facebook Group and would love for you to join our community.  This will be the place where we can make a greater connection, strengthen, encourage and learn from each other.  You can find all the podcasts in this group with other discussions and messages along the way.  Consider yourself invited!

    14. Season 1, Episode 18 Leadership isn't a 50/50 affair!

      50 / 50... you do your part and I will do mine and together we will have 100%!  This is what I used to believe until I went through marriage counseling and the counselor challenged my perspective and suggested that living life and marriage from a 50 / 50 perspective will only lead to 50 / 50 results and a lot of frustration.  

      In today's podcast, we talk about what it means to be All IN!  What does it look like to live 100% or All In?

      We just launched our 3212Grow Facebook Group.  This is the place where we will connect, share, encourage and strengthen one another along our journey.  Send me a request through Facebook to join 321Grow and join the discussion.
