Find Growth Wherever You Are, in Whatever You Do | MWM
Accelerate Your Success = When we live life with Intentional growth, we walk into situations looking for ways to grow, and we seek out inspiration. It means we stay passionate about growing and have an unquenchable curiosity about learning things that can give application to help others. Are you walking through life with a lens to grow intentionally?
MWM |15 LAWS
Your Guide To Growth = John Maxwell considers his book, The 15 Invaluable Laws Of Growth, one of his top 5 books. The only way to guarantee that we are better tomorrow than we are today, is to be growing right now. The laws discussed in this book will help you grow, expand your possibilities, and develop yourself so you can have an incredible future.
Do You Have a Personal Growth Plan? | MWM
Growth Isn’t Automatic = The first law discussed in John Maxwell’s book, The 15 Invaluable Laws Of Growth, is the law of intentionality. It says that growth doesn’t just happen. Getting older is automatic, but getting better is not. In order to become better, you must have a personal growth plan—you must be intentional in your life. Intentional living takes good intentions and turns them into good actions. If you are going to grow, you must grow your purpose.
#intentional
You Can’t Fix What You Don’t See | MWM
See More. Do More. Be More. = The second law discussed in John Maxwell’s book, The 15 Invaluable Laws Of Growth, is the law of awareness. It says that you must know yourself to grow yourself. We can’t fix things in our life if we are unaware of them. Ask others to help and expose you to the areas where you are blind. When you see things you have never seen before, you can do things you have never done before, and become someone you have never been before.
#Awareness
Your Self-Worth = Your Potential | MWM
Grow Yourself To Grow Others = The third law discussed in John Maxwell’s book, The 15 Invaluable Laws Of Growth, is the law of the mirror. It says that you must see value in yourself to add value to yourself. It is important to believe in yourself, but it is more important to have self worth. This is because we rise to the level of our self worth, not to the level of our belief. A solid self worth allows you to build a foundation for growth and development.
#Mirror #self-awareness
Reflection Turns Experience into Insight | MWM
Stop. Reflect. Learn. = The fourth law discussed in John Maxwell’s book, The 15 Invaluable Laws Of Growth, is the law of reflection. It says that learning to pause allows growth to catch up with you. Experience alone isn’t the best teacher, but reflecting on our experiences is what allows us to learn and grow. Reflection turns experience into insight.
Motivation Gets You Going; Consistency Keeps You Growing | MWM
Consistency Compounds Growth = The fifth law discussed in John Maxwell’s book, The 15 Invaluable Laws Of Growth, is the law of consistency. It says that motivation gets you going, but discipline—or consistency—keeps you growing. We overestimate intensity and underestimate consistency. You don’t have to do something all day, but every day, to see growth and success in your life. Your life and growth has to be stored up before it shows up. #Consistency
Who You’re With is Who You Become | MWM
Develop Your Own Personal Growth Environment = The sixth law discussed in John Maxwell’s book, The 15 Invaluable Laws Of Growth, is the law of environment. It says that growth thrives in conducive surroundings. Are you in a growth oriented organization? Develop your own personal growth environment. When you change your surroundings, you will discover that who you are with determines who you become, how you learn, and how you develop.
#environment
Hope is Not a Strategy | MWM
Develop A Strategy For Your Growth = The seventh law discussed in John Maxwell’s book, The 15 Invaluable Laws Of Growth, is the law of design. It says that to maximize growth, you must develop strategies. Hope is not a strategy; you need something specific that you want to accomplish in order to grow and develop. A strategy will help you get from where you are to where you want to go.
#design

Bad Experience + Good Management = Great Growth | MWM
Grow Through Adversity = The eighth law discussed in John Maxwell’s book, The 15 Invaluable Laws Of Growth, is the law of pain. It says that good management of bad experiences leads to great growth. In growth, there is a lot of struggle. We all experience challenges and adversity, but our pain can allow us to grow. We learn to adjust and ask for help in the uphill journey. Your mindset is a choice. Make the decision to learn from your pain, and allow it to make you a better person.
#pain
Better on the Inside Means Better on the Outside | MWM
Develop Your Character = The ninth law discussed in John Maxwell’s book, The 15 Invaluable Laws Of Growth, is the law of the ladder. It says that character growth determines the height of personal growth. Ladders help you go higher than you can on your own. Character is the ladder of your life. When you have good character and are better on the inside, it will be evident in your actions.
#Ladder
Discover the Law of the Rubber Band | MWM
Stretch Yourself = The tenth law discussed in John Maxwell’s book, The 15 Invaluable Laws Of Growth, is the law of the rubber band. It says that growth stops when you lose the tension between where you are and where you could be. A rubber band only has value when it is stretched. When we are stretched, we become who we are supposed to be. We improve only when we expand and stretch ourselves.
What Are You Trading for the Next Level? | MWM
Grow Up The Mountain = The eleventh law discussed in John Maxwell’s book, The 15 Invaluable Laws Of Growth, is the law of tradeoffs. It says that we have to give up to go up. In order to go higher, you have to go lighter and tradeoff for things that are more important. You will grow out of things, and while it may be harder to give things up as you continue higher in your journey, it is worth the tradeoff!
Dream of Things That Could Be and Ask, “Why Not?” | MWM
Ask The Curious Questions = The twelfth law discussed in John Maxwell’s book, The 15 Invaluable Laws Of Growth, is the law of curiosity. It says that growth is stimulated by asking ‘why.’ When we ask the curious questions, we allow ourselves to explore a future that most don’t get to experience. Ask the questions that allow you to jump the fence!
#Curiosity
Growth Requires a Model | MWM
Find A Model To Follow = The thirteenth law discussed in John Maxwell’s book, The 15 Invaluable Laws Of Growth, is the law of modeling. It says that it is hard to improve when you have no one but yourself to follow. Most of us grow because we saw someone else grow, develop, and progress. Get out and meet people who are able to show you a new path. Follow in the footsteps of a mentor or model.
#model
The More You Grow, the More You CAN Grow | MWM
Get Better As You Get Older = The fourteenth law discussed in John Maxwell’s book, The 15 Invaluable Laws Of Growth, is the law of expansion. It says that growth always increases your capacity. The greatest asset from personal growth is that it increases your capacity to grow and learn. There is no finish line when you apply this law to your life.
How Your Development Can Benefit Those Around You | MWM
Pass On Value To Others = The fifteenth law discussed in John Maxwell’s book, The 15 Invaluable Laws Of Growth, is the law of contribution. It says that growing yourself enables you to grow others. When you live the law of contribution and significance you add value to others. They get better and you become fulfilled.
#contribution
=================================================
Never Stop Learning and Growing | MWM
Never Stop Learning And Growing = Growth is not automatic. Because of this John Maxwell has 4 growth practices in his life. Success is determined by growth, and it is the only thing that guarantees things will improve. We should never be done learning, and should always continue to develop and grow.
Read the Right Things Daily | MWM
Read The Right Things Daily = The first growth practice is read daily so you can grow your personal life. Are you growing every day? It depends on what you read. Read in the areas that will build you and make you a better, stronger person. What kind of books do you read?
#read
#read
See Through the Eyes of Others | MWM
Ask Good Questions = The second growth practice is to listen daily to broaden your perspective. It is important for leaders to see through the eyes of other people. Ask your team questions and listen! You don’t learn by talking, only by listening and then asking good questions.
#listen
Reflection Turns Experience into Insight | MWM
Be A Sustained Thinker = The third growth practice is to think daily and apply what you have learned. Evaluated experience is the best teacher. Reflection turns experience into insight. After a new experience, ask yourself “What did I love? What did I learn?” and you will grow. Sustained thinkers look for a better, bigger, deeper answer.

File What You Learn = The fourth growth practice is to file daily to preserve what you learn. Filing gives you a system to keep you from losing good material. Save your ideas and thoughts and it will help you add value to others.

Growth Leads to Being, Doing, and Having More | MWM
Have A Growth-Oriented Mindset = Growth is about doing, being, and having more than we do right now. If we want more of anything in our life, it will require growth. There is room for growth in everything we do.
Shift from a goal-oriented mindset to a growth-oriented one. This will result in a focus on the journey over the destination, where growth continues even after a goal is reached. Where would you like to see growth in your life today?
The 3 Things You Need for Growth | MWM
Growth Requires Intention = We have to be intentional and clear on the steps we need to take in order to grow. Growth requires 3 things:
- Knowledge about the area of growth
- Experience where we act on the knowledge we obtain
- A Coach or Mentor who can guide us, encourage us, and help us grow intentionally into who we want to become
You must be intentional if you want growth. In what area of your life would you like to be more intentional?
Keep Growing = Growth is not automatic. Many people think that finishing school or getting a certificate as being finished with growth and learning, but this isn't the case. We are never done growing and learning, it should never stop.
Read The Right Things Daily = Read daily so that you can grow in your personal life. We all read each day, but are you growing daily? It all depends on what you read! Read daily in the things that are your strengths—in adding value to people, in success, in being a better person—read in the areas where you are going to grow you, and be sure to read the right thing.
Listen To Broaden Your Perspective = Listen daily to broaden your perspective. You don't grow by talking, but instead by listening. It's important as a leader to see things through the eyes of others. This growth happens by listening to others and asking good questions, through hearing others talk about the things you need learn as you continue your growth journey.
Reflect and Think = Think daily to apply what you learn in life. Reflection turns experience into insight. By spending time thinking and reflecting on what you learn and experience, you can extract from that experience and reflect on your personal growth.
Save All Your Ideas—File Them Away= File daily to preserve what you learn. Filing is our system to keep us from losing good ideas—when you read a good quote, see or hear a good story, you immediately file them away so you have access to them when the time is right. Filing keeps your thoughts, ideas, and learnings organized.
Growth without a finish line
Improving yourself is the first step in improving everything else in your life. If you want to grow in life, you have to grow intentionally. Hear from John Maxwell on how to create a growth plan for your success.
We need to move from growth in everything to growth in essential things. What areas are you going to grow in?
What would you eliminate to focus on the essential areas of growth?
The Only Guarantee the Next Day Will be Better… | MWM
https://youtu.be/Koq6INroexI
Always Be Growing = Success is about growing to reach our potential. God’s gift to us is our potential, and our gift back to Him is what we do with that potential. Discover your purpose, know what your strengths are, and focus your time and energy on growing in those areas. You get the highest return in life from doing what you are good at.
==========================
https://youtu.be/nfALDYKtrJ8
Grow Together = Growth is expected, it's not an option. The only guarantee that you will have a better future—in life, on a team, and as part of an organization—is if you are growing. The only way that you can go together, is if you grow together. Growth is expected in everything you do.
Grow Into The Next Day = In life, we don't go into the next day, we grow into the next day. God's gift to us is our potential, and our gift back to Him is what we do with that potential. Once we discover our strengths and purpose—that is where we want to focus our time, efforts, and energy—we need to use those strengths to get our highest return in life. We need to always be growing.
