Climb The Ladder of Influence? and Become the Leader You are Destined to Be.? | Author of 15 Books | Keynote Speaker | TEDx Speaker | Leadership Trainer | Survivor Advocate
The foundation of influence is leadership of self.
Every day we make hundreds or thousands of choices, some seemingly insignificant.
Those choices, cumulatively, create our future. We make our choices, and then, our choices make us. We can choose our thoughts, mindset, attitude, values, and actions, but we cannot outrun the consequences of those choices, positive or negative.
Good choices lead to increased influence with other people, improved circumstances, more options, more opportunities, and better results.
Poor choices take us in the opposite direction.?
The degree to which you accept responsibility for everything in your life is precisely the degree of personal power you have to change or create anything in your life.” Hal Elrod
Maybe you’ve had the pleasure of having a “Ridiculously Awesome” ?or “Powerfully Productive” day in the past. A day where you felt fully alive, in alignment, and extremely effective. A day where you got the most important things done with seemingly little effort. A day where you didn’t forget something (or someone) important, had time to exercise or eat healthy, and at the end of the day, you felt completely satisfied with how you spent your time and energy.

Whether you have experienced a day like this yet or not, they are possible. And, they begin with intentional thinking. It seldom, if ever, happens by accident.
And, intentional leadership begins with intentional living. The foundation of influence is leadership of self.
Start each day with a purposeful mindset, and you will achieve your priorities based on your values. Just a few minutes of intentional thought every morning will allow you to focus your energy, increase your influence, and make your day all that it can be!

7 个月I love these comments from Ria: "The foundation of influence is the?leadership of self.? Start each day with a purposeful mindset, and you will achieve your priorities based on your values." Too many people focus their time on their judgment of others and on gossip, and they fail to keep focused on their own personal growth and development. ?

7 个月The great thing about choices is that we come with an unlimited lifetime supply. If we’ve been making poor choices, we can hit the reset button and start making better choices…even great choices.
