Leadership is influence. Everything rises and falls on leadership, everything.
- The longer a problem is avoided the bigger the problem gets.
- Pain is part of the progress; run from the pain you miss the progress.
- Pain always has a purpose; don’t miss the purpose.
- Often the difference between where I am and where God wants me to be is the pain I’m willing to endure.
- God is always faithful.
- Growth=Change; Change=Loss Loss= Pain (Growth=Pain)
- You’ll only grow to your threshold of pain:
- If you want to grow you have to learn to raise your threshold of pain.
- If you want your organization or church to grow you have to help them raise and understand their threshold of pain must grow.
- To go where I believe God wants it will take quality, capable, and faithful, ladder holders.
- We can only climb as high as the people holding our ladder.
- Learn that pain can be your friend, not your enemy.
- Leadership is brutal and beautiful.
- Everything rises and falls on leadership.
