Last week we learned that the #1 skill of an entrepreneur is leadership.
When you learn to LEAD..
You liberate yourself from needing to learn every task in the business.
That’s impossible.
Instead, you can then bring on a team of subject matter experts that will explode your business.
This is the power of leadership.
This in mind, I wanted to share my 3 pillars of leadership framework which I use as a guiding principle to expand your leadership ability..
- Lead yourself.
- Lead your family.
- Lead your empire.
Why does the framework start with you?
Well, before you can lead anyone else..
You must lead yourself.
I know this because I used to be a poor leader of myself.
I slept in, wasn’t fit, ate junk food, consumed excessive sugar, hit the snooze button, was disorganized, had little impulse control and suffered from a cocaine addiction & alcoholism in my early 20’s that made me unaccountable to myself.
Think about that for a second…
When you cannot hold yourself accountable.
How can you hold others accountable?
You couldn’t.And I sure didn’t.
Major leadership failure.
Then something happened.
I decided to change.
I hired a fitness coach.
I committed myself for 90 days.
It was hard.
I felt like quitting.
But I kept pushing forward.
That 90 days turned into 17 years and counting of consistent action.
It created discipline, increased my impulse control, and allowed me to lead me.
That was and is the first step in leadership.
Lead yourself.
The morale of today’s story:
Taking control of your health & fitness is one of the best places to start in the pursuit of leading yourself.
