On this episode of The Alliance Activity podcast, Andy Albright delivered a strong message from his office in front of a live audience in Burlington, N.C. at The Alliance's corporate headquarters.

Are you right there with people, trying to encourage them on a regular basis?

If you quit then they might quit! You have to stay in the game or you can expect other people to stay in the game.

Maybe you aren't consistent? There's good news for you: most successful people have terrible inconsistencies.  

Without encouragement and faith, people will get down on themselves. It happens every single day.  

You have to work hard to be good at anything.

The reason you need to be better is so you don't take away from what you're doing when you're active. If you don't become a better person you'll lose everything you have.  

If you know what's wrong with you then other people know it too. Don't worry about that. Get back to work.

Work on something that will propel you to the next level. When you have a mission, it is not hard to know what you should be doing. The Alliance is in a war against poverty and it is our mission to eliminate poverty for those who "Do."

Here are some tips from Andy that will help you moving forward.

Do fewer things! Don't try to do everything

What are the Top 3 things you need to do TODAY. Make sure they are the most important things you need to be doing. These are your A tasks. Based on your WHY, what are the most important things.

Work on things that you put down more of the time, or ALL of the time. The more time you spend on those important things, the more productive you are on the outside then the more happy you will be inside. What are your "Got To Do" high-priority stuff?

 

1. Start from where you are
2. Use what you have 
3. Do all that you can do. 

You are where you are so stop evaluating it so much.  

A problem is just a question that hasn't been asked.  

What can you do right now? Then do everything you can do on those things.
