Some of my friends are famous. They've won Emmys and Grammys and Oscars.
Some of my friends are wealthy. They've sold companies for billions of dollars.
I felt like I was meant for greatness. Notoriety was my destiny.
There's only one problem...
I'm not that kind of hero.
It was a tough realization that maybe, after all this time, I'm just an ordinary person.
What if I'm not really special after all?
The truth is, there's a hero in all of us. It's just not what you think it is.

BTW, in case you don't know, I don't just write The Best Leadership Newsletter Ever, but I help transform leaders and companies. I turn them into the heroes they have hidden inside themselves.
If you are in a state where you feel your leadership or company needs change in order to grow to the next level, I'd love to talk and give you some pointers. Feel free to contact me here.

1 年Such a great share. In high school I was the slowest runner on the cross country team. But I never walked. Not once. My goal was to keep running then, no matter my pace, and goal is to keep going now, even when my business bank account attempts to taunt me. Thanks Jeff Matlow!
