Shoremates,

Welcome back to Law 9 from John C. Maxwell's book, the 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth.   If you love this podcast, be sure to check out our sponsor at www.nauticalteas.com for absolutely delicious loose leaf and handcrafted teas.

In this episode, we cover the law of the ladder in regards to character growth.  For the past several decades, John has had 5 specific rungs to the character growth ladder that he constructed for himself to live by.  His belief is that any success or failure that we head towards will be directly related to whatever our character is.  If we work on our characters, we will walk towards success.   If we do not, we will fall into failure.

Action steps: 

1. Up to now, have you been focusing on your outside appearance: your clothes, the car you drive, the house you live in, your career, or have you been focusing on growing your character?
2. If you’re like most of us, we’ve never heard of intentionally growing our character.  If your answer was the outside experience from action step 1, how can you implement John Maxwell’s 5 rungs to character development in your life?
3. If you struggle with humility, spend time brainstorming ways you can help others, without expecting anything in return.

I hope that today’s episode has added value to you today, and always, always remember.

You’ve got this!
