Well, here it is, the end of October and 2020 is almost over. While many of us to include me, will not be sad to see this year come to an end, it's time to look back at the year and ask if we made the most out of 2020. While it may have been a horrible year for many of us, it also gave time to do things that they have been putting off for far too long. Hopefully, you made 2020 a year to look back at and say I used the year to it's fullest and didn't waste the opportunities I had this year.

We only have so many days on this planet, and the number is different for everyone. That is why we must use every moment to build the life we want and deserve.

So ask yourself, What Moves You Forward and what stops you. Learn to let go of the things that stop you and grab hold of the opportunities that move you forward.

Today we discuss letting go of the things that stop us from being our best selves and grabbing hold of the things that propel us to greatness.

Today I want to speak to you about making a change. Just like any election is your chance to change for the better, you should improve your life every day, starting with yourself and then working out to the local community.

Before you head out on any journey, there are some steps you probably take:

● Determine your starting point.

● Mark your ending point.

Where do you want to be? If you don't know what your end goal is, then there are some things you can do. If your end goal changes, don't worry, it's your life, and you change throughout it, so will your goals and the important things to you.

"Finding your purpose" is more than just a cliché or a dream that will never be fulfilled. It's actually a tool for a better, happier, healthier life that too few people attempt to use.

Then tell the story of your future

Today we will speak about how to motivate yourself and maintain that motivation throughout tough times to always be moving toward your goals.

Which of your goals is the most important to you?

Today we are discussing how to build your leadership skills. 

Effective leadership doesn't come naturally for most of us, and regardless of your current skills, improvement is always possible. Luckily, there are several methods that you can use to build and refine your leadership skills. 

There are opportunities each day to gain more experience, even outside of work. 

Take advantage of every leadership opportunity to hone your skills:

1Develop a vision and share it with your team. Take the necessary time to determine the goal and the path to that goal. 

Goals are most effective when using the SMART Goal method with a deadline and a clear achievement sign.

All great leaders are individuals with unique skills and personalities. However, great leaders have several characteristics in common. If you're attempting to become a more effective leader, it makes sense to develop these qualities in your own life.

Great leaders share a foundation of particular traits:

Becoming a great leader in our organizations, our family, and our community is not something that happens overnight. It is something that we all must continue to work toward throughout our lives. Remember that not all great leaders are created equal, but all great leaders share common characteristics. Develop the qualities that take your skills to a higher level.

Do you consider yourself a great leader? If you answer no to this question, that's fine. Leadership skills are highly sought after by employers. Leadership is something quite elusive, and your leadership style should always be adapting as you learn and grow as a person and member of your organization. It's part science and part art. While the science of leadership can be understood conventionally. The skill is learned only through experience. The ability to combine both separates the great leaders from the rest.

Before any of us can become great leaders, though, we have to understand the one thing that all leaders have In common.  First and foremost, a leader is self-motivated. Unlike followers, who must be told what to do, a leader is highly self-driven and motivated.

A leader is out in front of the crowd. They are moving forward on their initiative, taking action without being told to do so. A leader must be able to drive things along without the approval or permission of others.

They must have an innate desire to make change happen, even when they can't see exactly how it's going to happen.

A leader isn't primarily motivated by salary or social perks. They have a fire within them—a powerful desire to make good change happen.

Join us as we discuss becoming a motivated leader.

When most of us hear the word leadership, we usually think of political officials, CEOs, military commanders, or even athletes. While it's true that you need good leadership skills to excel at these occupations, if we only look to these sources we will have failed ourselves.

Leadership is a valuable skill that everyone from any vocation or background can use for their benefit and the benefit of others. That is why today we are starting a series on becoming a leader. During the next few episodes as we approach the election, I will remain on the topic of leadership and thriving to take it back.
