The one thing that seems to separate those who keep moving and those who don’t is continued personal growth. (Personal Spiritual Growth)
-
- When a leader gets stuck, the organization gets stuck.
- If you stop growing, in time, so will what you lead.
- Change, adaptability, and improvement are essential.
- Next to the power and presence of God in your life, personal growth is key to deeper and continued impact in other’s lives and a deep and meaningful leadership legacy.
- Be careful not to confuse busyness with growth.
- Don’t connect the size of your church with the rate of your growth.
Three guidelines for personal growth.
Your motivation matters.
-
-
- Discipline without fruit will suck the life out of you in time.
- Personal growth for the sake of personal growth can become stale.
- Align your goals and dreams with your motivation.
- You goal isn’t personal growth; it’s making a more profound impact in the lives of more people.
-
Your method needs to fit your wiring.

Measurement helps you make progress.
How you measure your growth helps determine if you are making progress.
How you apply new realities, wisdom and practical ideas get me closer to true measurement.
Growth can’t be measured without a connection to change.
If we are not changing; we are not growing.
The kind of measurement is how many lives you’ve touched for their good.
If you change just one life, but that life is the next Billy Graham, you are making significant progress in God’s plan.
The growth process requires that you keep praying and all the while keep investing in others.
