LEAD with Isaac Oyedepo

Many people set goals, but it takes so much grit and discipline to achieve them.

When it comes to goal setting, you must learn to handle disappointments. 

Every successful entrepreneur and leader at one point has had to handle failure and not meeting their target. 

Falling short of your goals doesn’t mean you should give up, learn from Jesus, He has taught us how to set goals and how not to settle when we miss our goals. 

How not to miss the target: 

Remind yourself of the why.  

Remind yourself you set reaching goals. 

Remind yourself that you can ask for help. 

It is not what happens to you that matters, but how you respond to what happened makes the difference. 

Remember, failure is part of every success story.

There are 3 different types of goal setting, we have; 

Short-Term goals, Long-Term goals, On-going goals. 

To achieve any of these goals that you’ve set, you will need to have daily commitment checklists that will enable you to achieve your goals. 

1. Dedication 

2. Determination 

3. Documentation 

These 3 checklists are signs that you are committed to achieving your goals.

When progress is slower than anticipated will you still pursue your goals?

Every goal you have ever succeeded in setting, pursuing, and achieving begins with setting a plan in your mind. 

If you want to achieve a goal you have set it, you need to possess the right mindset. 

In this episode, I spoke about the 8 ways you can successfully achieve your goals. 

You must think, write, ask, eliminate, balance, stretch, do a final check, and also partner with the right people.

I hope you will practice these steps into achieving your set goals.

Make sure you share this with a friend.

To discover your purpose, you need to be able to look within yourself, look at your environment, look back at your childhood, look forward far ahead into your vision, and lookup. 

Most of the time, you have that purpose because God wants you to take others into their purpose. 

Before God created you, He already had a purpose and an assignment for you on earth. 

The surest way to discover your purpose is to ask the ONE who created you because Purpose is always in the mind of the creator. 

What steps are you taking to discover your purpose?

Until you’ve unveiled what your purpose is, you cannot discover. God formed you and sent you to earth to achieve a purpose. 

To discover your purpose you have to ask purpose-driven questions. Asking God questions if different from questioning God. God has designed your purpose in such a way that it is not complex nor is it difficult to uncover. 

In this episode, I spoke on the 6 different places you can look to uncover and discover your purpose, listen, and make sure you share with your friends.

Your duty is to discover and not dictate your purpose. 

At your conception purpose is concluded and at death, purpose is completed dependent on how you lived your life; you either fulfill your purpose or die full of your purpose. It is your duty to Uncover, Discover, and Recover purpose. 

You are not just gifted, you are a gift to your generation wrapped by God and until you are unboxed, your generation cannot notice you.

Listen to this episode and learn how to Uncover, Discover, and  Recover your purpose.

God had an intention before creation. God wouldn’t have formed you without giving you purpose. He is a creator of purpose and everything He creates is purpose-driven. 

He had a plan for your whole life, even before your birth. God created you with the end in mind, His intentions for you has and will always be to excel and be phenomenal. 

In your daily activities, you have to remember that the content deposited in you was no accident, it was to achieve a purpose. Your uniqueness was intentional. 

God created you with a specific content for a specific purpose.

How do you teach your team to respond to discomfort and pain? 

A team that goes the extra mile and challenges themselves every time will go a long way in being effective and exceptional. 

As a leader, setting the right priority for your team is a major key to achieving excellence. Your team must learn to work smart rather than work hard. 

When pain comes, ensure you make gain out of it and if peanuts are thrown at you, make peanut butter out of it. 

Remember, priorities will help you manage your time effectively as a team.

Most times people hinder new ideas because they are afraid it will disrupt their old comfort zone.

To build a transformational team, your team members have to think differently than others and one of the best ways to develop a new thinking pattern is to be uncomfortable with your comfort zone.

The key component for a team to develop a new thinking pattern is ‘EXPOSURE’. An exceptional team needs to be exposed. 

You cannot develop a new thinking pattern without building the culture of exposure amongst your team members.

Exposure in a team will cause knowledge to be accepted and observation to be practiced.

The level at which your team thinks is the level will they perform. Hence, you must upgrade their thinking pattern by practicing the culture of exposure. 

Remember, never put your team in a box.
