Are you afraid of feedback or do you see it as a tool for growth? Great leaders embrace constructive criticism and foster a culture where feedback is normal. According to Gallup, employees who receive regular feedback are three times more engaged.

This week, ask someone for honest feedback on an area you want to improve. Reflect on it and take action. Feedback is a gift. How will you use it to grow? #Leadership #Feedback #GrowthMindset

Being busy isn’t the same as being productive. Leaders drive results by focusing on impactful work, not endless tasks. The 80/20 rule reminds us that 20% of our actions create 80% of our results.

Today’s action step: Prioritize your to-do list. Highlight 1–3 tasks with the biggest impact and tackle those first. Work smarter, not harder. What’s your top priority today? #Leadership #Productivity #Focus

In this episode of Start With a Win, host Adam Contos dives into the power of holistic freedom with his guest, Coach JV. Coach JV shares his remarkable journey from corporate America to entrepreneurship, overcoming adversity, and building a thriving ecosystem of businesses. He reveals what is required to achieve true success and why taking control of your life is the key to lasting fulfillment. Tune in for an inspiring conversation on mindset, resilience, and creating the life you truly want!

Coach JV woke up from an attempted suicide on December 18th, 2006, to a book called “The Secret.” From that day forth, the next 17 years of his life would never be the same.
After his attempted suicide, JV pursued a bachelor’s degree and graduated from CBA executive banking school and soon scaled himself up to vice president at a large bank. After years of dedication to the corporation, he went through a great spiritual awaking and started to see the system for what it was. He decided to leave the high-paid VP job and with his business partner Cesar Jeremy Quintanilla, created a million-dollar FREEDOM company called 3T Warrior Academy. 3T Warrior Academy has helped thousands of warriors worldwide break free from the job just over broke system and learn how to journey to freedom in mindset, in health, and in generational wealth building.

Leadership isn’t about titles or assigning blame—it’s about ownership. When things go wrong, resist the urge to point fingers. Instead, ask, How can I take ownership and fix this? True leaders own the problem and the solution.
