In this episode of the Maxwell Leadership Executive Podcast, we discuss how to increase personal productivity and the five essential decisions leaders need to make in order to boost their efficiency and achieve remarkable results.


Inclusive Organizations with Exclusive Values Make the Greatest Impact
Welcome Diverse Thoughts And Perspectives = We are divided as a population. Inclusivity is all about welcoming and including other perspectives, backgrounds, ethnicities, genders, and income levels. When an organization has a more inclusive group of varied perspectives, the organization is better and makes better decisions.
It is also important to be exclusive based on values. So, figure out your values—be exclusive based on values—but be inclusive in every other area! Welcome a diversity of thought and perspective into your life, so you can be your very best self.

1 Peter 4:10 Just as each one of you has received a special gift [a spiritual talent, an ability graciously given by God], employ it in serving one another as [is appropriate for] good stewards of God’s multi-faceted grace [faithfully using the diverse, varied gifts and abilities granted to Christians by God’s unmerited favor].
1 Corinthians 12:12 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.
1 Corinthians 14:26 ESV What then, brothers? When you come together, each one has a hymn, a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for building up.
1 Corinthians 14:10 ESV There are doubtless many different languages in the world, and none is without meaning,
1 Corinthians 12:12-30 ESV For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit. For the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. ...

Fear Quotes

Quotes About Fear
  • "Fear is the mother of foresight." -- Thomas Hardy
  • Don’t let fear or insecurity stop you from trying new things. Believe in yourself. Do what you love.
  • Fear leads to self-doubt, which is the worst enemy of creativity. –DAVID OLGIVY
  • If you want to conquer fear, don’t sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy. – Dale Carnegie
  • Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live. --Dorothy Thompson
  • You gain strength, courage, and confidence from every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.
  • Train yourself to let go of the things you fear to lose. --GEORGE LUCAS
  • Of all the liars in the world, sometimes the worst are our own fears. --RUDYARD KIPLING


Fear is the Story We Tell Ourselves | MWM
Don’t Let Fear Stop Your Growth = Fear can stop people from growing, but fear is not a reflection of reality or potential. What is real, the danger or the fear? Fear is a story we tell ourselves. We give it the meaning. Don’t allow fear to stop you from moving forward. Just because something feels wrong or gives you fear, doesn’t mean you can’t learn and grow. 



Successful People Are Courageous, not Fearless
Stretch Outside Of Your Comfort Zone = "Fearless" is a myth. Instead, aim to be brave. People who succeed at the highest levels have the same amount of fear as everyone else, but they have learned to be courageous in the face of fear. Stretch out of your comfort zone and aim to be brave!


https://youtu.be/hH48You-Ed8
Starve your Fear = What we focus on, expands. Don't focus on fear, diminish it and put faith and positive emotions ahead of you. Remember, fear is temporary but not taking the chance, or not trying something new will live with you forever. 



Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway
Teaching you ten ways to constructively face your fears.  A few key points from this lesson:
- Most fear is not based upon fact; it is based upon feeling
- Leaders should focus on things they can control, not things they can’t control
- Feed the right emotion and starve the wrong one
After John’s lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Goede join to talk about helpful ways you can apply this lesson to your life and leadership.

Bible Quotes

Quotes About the Bible
  • The Bible is worth all the other books which have ever been printed.  Patrick Henry
  • Both read the Bible day and night, but thou read black where I read white.  William Blake
  • First, open your heart, then open your Bible.  Rick Warren
  • The Bible tells us to forgive our enemies, not our friends  Margot Asquith
  • The Bible is replete with commands to persevere, especially in the face of injustice.  Joni Eareckson Tada
  • God has spoken through His word. God whispers in your soul and speaks to your mind. Sometimes when you don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at you. It's your choice: Listen to the whisper, or wait for the brick.
  • All things desirable to men are contained in the Bible. ABRAHAM LINCOLN (1809-1865)
  • Nobody ever outgrows Scripture; the book widens and deepens with our years. Charles H. Spurgeon 
  • A Bible that’s falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn’t. -- Charles H. Spurgeon
  • The Bible applied to the heart by the Holy Spirit, is the chief means by which men are built up and established in the faith, after their conversion. J. C. Ryle 
  • The word of God hidden in the heart is a stubborn voice to suppress. Billy Graham
  • The reading of all good books is like a conversation with the finest minds of past centuries. --RENE DESCARTES
  • It's not the parts of the Bible I don't understand that trouble me, it's the parts I do. - Mark Twain 
  • Daniel Webster, on June 17, 1843, at the Bunker Hill Monument in Charleston, Massachusetts, spoke these stirring words about our forefathers' reverence for the Bible: The Bible came with them. And it is not to be doubted, that to free and universal reading of the Bible, in that age, men were much indebted for right views of civil liberty. The Bible is a book of faith, and a book of doctrine, and a book of morals, and a book of religion, of special revelation from God; but it is also a book which teaches man his own individual responsibility, his own dignity, and his equality with his fellow-man.
















The Proverb Challenge = John sets forth the Proverb Challenge—to spend one month reading one proverb per day, 31 proverbs in total. In that month, if you get a good business, life, leadership, or relationship thought—you will have developed more ideas and principles than before. It will change your life.

    Matthew 6:19-21 ESV “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
