Take Hold of Your Role                                                                                                                             

Habits can be good or bad. Most of us have many of each.

One of the bad habits I see in people is their acceptance of things the way they are without trying to change them. Said another way, we can all become complacent in our jobs, in our homes, in our communities, and in our lives. Complacency is a killer when it comes to leadership and management in both business and life.

Remembering past challenges and learning from them is an effective means of growth and development. But being trapped by the past is not. One of my constant refrains for clients is to take hold of their business and to do something to make it better. That same advice is equally applicable to taking hold of our lives to make them better.

I believe in hope, but it is not as good a business or life strategy as committing to make a necessary change and executing on it. So what are you doing to make your business, your job, or your life better? Take hold of your role!

Here are a few Business & Life Tips to think about….

Business Tips:

• Your commitments shape your direction in life and in business. They define what you’re dedicated to and what you really care about.
• Complacency is a fear of high achievers, and it should be a fear for everyone. When we are no longer motivated, it’s over.
• The gap between what you’ve got and what you want can only be settled by accepting what you’ve got or achieving what you want.

Life Tips:

• When you learn the value of doing what others are unwilling to do, you begin to take hold of the role of responsible leadership.
• Building good habits is a key to long-term success and happiness. Joy comes from the peace of mind that stems from such habits.
• Contentment vs. complacency: It’s the difference between being joyful with what you have and being lazy about improvement.
