In order to grow and level up in life, you have to set your ego aside and humble yourself to learn from others.

“The ego can be the great success inhibitor. It can kill opportunities, and it can kill success.” – Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

Your relationship with your team comes down to deposits & withdrawls. You have to pour into your people so that when it comes time to ask more of them, you won’t risk bankrupting the relationship.

Own your path or stay stuck! It comes down to standards and discipline. High standards backed up with work ethic & discipline will typically yield high results. If you’re just aiming for mediocrity, you’ll likely fall short of it.

In order to be a good leader, you must first be a good student and a good follower. It takes humility to learn. It takes work ethic to implement what you’ve learned. Work ethic will get you results, and the results will start to scratch the surface of earning the respect of the peole you lead.

The pain of regret far outweighs the pain of putting in relentless effort. Everything has a price and typically the price is cheaper now than it will ever be in the future. Today’s sacrifices prevent tomorrow’s regrets.

Don’t get caught up only looking at people’s highlight reel. Real growth happens in valleys & success is only highlighted at the summit of the mountain. Find someone you admire & then study what they had to go through to get where they are.

Too many people with serious potential fall into the trap of blaming and excuses. Take resposibility, commit to your mission, and you'll be surprised at how much your life will be changed.
