Do Hard Things Today

Run Disney Perfect Dopey participant Kevin Harrison answers all your questions about the Dopey Challenge - where to stay, how to train, where to dine, and out to get there - with four months to go before the big day.

On today's episode of the Do Hard Things Today podcast, Kevin tells us about beginning the 75 Hard program. It's a self-improvement journey with some rules:

Complete two 45-minute workouts a day, one outside.

Read 10 pages of non-fiction per day, from a real book.

Follow some form of diet plan of your choice.

Drink one gallon of water per day.

Take a progress photo every day.

And that's it. But here's the catch: there are no cheat days, and no days off. Fail any ONE of the challenges on any day, and it's time to start over. Yes, even on day 74.

Kevin will tell us why he's doing it, how it's going, and check in with his progress regularly.

What's your plan?

Don't have one? You'd better make one. Because as you'll find in John C. Maxwell's 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, The Law of Navigation tells us that the leader is responsible for determining the destination and course of the organization.

This week, we'll take a look at the Law of Navigation, including developing a clear vision, leading with confidence, the importance of adaptability, and much, much more.

"Leadership develops daily, not in a day."

That's how John C. Maxwell begins the chapter on The Law of Process, this week's installment in our study of his book "21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership".

The main idea behind the Law of Process is that the routines and tasks you make time for each day are what will eventually build the success of both yourself and your business. The best way to use the Law of Process is by evaluating your daily routines as they stand. What are you currently doing each day that makes you a better person? Do you use your time wisely? Are you making time for personal development? Are you wasting time on other things?

Join Kevin and Jed this week as they explore the Law of Process, and several ways you can learn to incorporate it.

Join Kevin and Jed as they look at the second chapter of "The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership" by John C. Maxwell.

Today, we'll examine the Law of Influence. This chapter examines several leadership myths, as well as taking a look at the importance of influence and the factors that help determine it, such as character, relationships, knowledge, intuition, experience, past successes, and ability.

Join Kevin and Jed (and this week's guest Bonnie Blackwell) as we take an in-depth look at John C. Maxwell's book "The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership". This continuing series will explore each chapter of the book. First up: The Law of the Lid.

• How well you lead determines how well you succeed. With this in mind, your level of success will always be a level below your leadership ability. How do you maximize that?
• Take a look at the various aspects of leadership. Leadership can include:
• People skills
• Planning and strategic thinking
• Vision
• Results.

The Law of the Lid takes a look at how you rate yourself, and how others rate you, on all of those aspects and more.

How do you deal with failure? On today's Real Talk Monday, Kevin explains that failure presents two choices: Stay down, or get back up. How will YOU handle it?
