What is the Opportunity? | MWM
Find The Opportunity In Your Challenge = Find the opportunity in your challenge. It is easy to focus on the obstacle and get discouraged, but ask yourself this: What is the opportunity in the challenge you are facing right now? If you can answer it, it'll give you hope and a light at the end of the tunnel as you realize that there is an opportunity in what you are going through.




The 3 Elements of Prime Opportunity | MWM
Step Outside Your Comfort Zone = Success often hinges on our ability to seize significant opportunities when they appear. It involves calculated risk taking and stepping outside of your comfort zone. Is there an opportunity that you need to seize today? Outline the benefits and steps to capitalize on the opportunity and then take action!




Which Book of John Maxwell’s is His Favorite? | MWM
Be Excited By Your Opportunities = Opportunity should excite us! An opportunistic person must bring excitement with them into the next opportunity and moment of impact. As you take the day on, look for opportunities to better fulfill the purpose, mission, and vision that you as a leader are carrying. When you look at every moment as an opportunity to be more effective, you become more effective.




Problems Will Improve You If You Let Them | MWM
Problems Create Opportunities = The seventh principle of problem-solving is believing there is always an opportunity. All problems create opportunities when you have the right attitude. If you look at a problem correctly, there is always an answer, always a lesson, and always an opportunity.
#opportunity



This Greek Statue Inspired Our Understanding of Opportunity
https://youtu.be/7wS_Xd1k84Y
Schedule Your Priorities = You can grab an opportunity when it comes at you, but you can’t grab hold of it after it has passed. This is a reminder of how to manage time. If you manage your time well, you can seize opportunities. The issue isn’t prioritizing your schedule, but scheduling your priorities, so you can seize the moments when they come.


Opportunity Opens Doors and Expands Your Life
Chase Opportunities And Discover New Possibilities = Discovering an opportunity can be very satisfying. Once you find an opportunity and seize the moment, your life begins to expand and open up with possibilities that you never imagined. Find, chase, and maximize opportunities and gain returns.



Statement of Strength for Leaders...Opportunity = Today’s Statement of Strength: “In the middle of the difficulty lies opportunity.” –Albert Einstein


https://youtu.be/Xs35cWgER8s
Work for the Opportunity = Opportunities come and go, some without warning. You must be prepared in order to succeed! Practice day in and day out, so when that opportunity arises you are ready to face it head-on.



Create the Opportunity -- Stop avoiding the problem, and achieve the opportunity. Don't sit back and wait for life to happen, instead, create the life you want. By doing so - you will stop waiting for the right moment and start living in the moment.

Every Problem Is An Opportunity In Disguise = Every problem that comes to you has an opportunity. Even if you don't see it initially, each problem has a unique solution and opportunity, and has the potential to help you grow as a leader. 

In The Middle of Difficulty, Find The Opportunity

Bringing People Together in a World That Divides | MWM
Practice Bringing People Together = John Maxwell’s new book, High Road Leadership, is about the characteristics that high road leaders possess that sets them apart from people who travel the middle or low road.

Acknowledge Your Humanity = John Maxwell’s new book, High Road Leadership, discusses how it is important to acknowledge our humanity.

Do the Right Things for the Right Reasons | MWM
Motivate, Don’t Manipulate = John Maxwell’s new book, High Road Leadership, discusses how motives matter because people matter.

Give More Than You Take | MWM
Give More Than You Take = John Maxwell’s new book, High Road Leadership, discusses how high road leaders set themselves apart from people who travel the middle or low road.

High road leaders know people are valuable, and if you are a plus in the lives of others, they will come to you with love and you will have an increased influence on them.

We Do Hard Things Today to Do Harder Things Tomorrow | MWM
Develop Strength To Succeed Through Adversity = John Maxwell’s new book, High Road Leadership, discusses the qualities of a high road leader.

You need emotional strength and capacity in addition to your gifts in order to succeed.

Who Are You Accountable To? | MWM
Reach Your Potential With Accountability = John Maxwell’s new book, High Road Leadership, discusses how high road leaders set themselves apart from people who travel the middle or low road.

Elevation Quotes

 Quotes About Elevation

  • Sometimes what appears to be a setback is God's mode of elevation. --Roderick L. Evans






Do You Lift Up or Tear Down? | MWM
https://youtu.be/1IUfrcEaU88
Help Lift Others Up = The ability to elevate people is enhanced by being intentional. It is being able to take somebody and lift them higher, and help them go higher than they may not have gone on their own. So, are you an elevator?
To Elevate Is To Lift Others Higher Than They Thought They Could Go = To elevate it to take someone and lift them, to go higher than they could have when on their own. The ability to elevate people is enhanced by you being able to add value to people. Once you become an elevator that takes people and lifts them up, they are going to want to get on that elevator again and again to be around you.

 

Focus on You First - Some people are elevator people who lift you up, and others take you down. Bring others along with you who want to succeed and continue their growth. Separate from those who no longer bring you peace, encourage you on your journey, or support your goals!

    Be Someone Who Sees the Best in Others | MWM
    Believe In The Best Of Others = When you believe in the best of others, you bring out the best of others. Alternatively, if you believe the worst of others, you get that. Believe in the best of others, and bring them to be their and your best.
    In his newest book, The Charismatic Leader, John C. Maxwell shares 21 practical skills to help you connect authentically, communicate effectively, and lead with greater impact. Whether you lead a team, speak on stage, or mentor one-on-one—this book equips you to win hearts and move people.




    The All or Nothing Myth | MWM
    Leadership Is Never All Or Nothing = The all or nothing mindset says that if I can't get to the top, then I won't even try. By having an all or nothing attitude you are saying you will only do your job and nothing more, and this can hurt your leadership career. To avoid this way of thinking, don’t wait for the job promotion you want to reach your next position. Do the job you want before you get it, leadership is never all or nothing.


    Do You Live to Serve? | MWM

    Place People Above Your Own Agenda | MWM
    Put Others First = John Maxwell’s new book, High Road Leadership, discusses how high-road leaders set themselves apart from people who travel the middle or low road. High-road leaders are servant leaders. This means they place others above their own agenda and personal needs. Are you a servant leader?

    Serve Others to See Them at Their Best
    https://youtu.be/HnYBby0wDrY
    Great Leaders Always Serve Well. = Great customer service has become a rarity in companies today, but it matters almost as much as the quality of the product. Great service makes mediocre products better, it improves difficult situations, and can transform an angry customer into a loyal one by making them feel understood. The idea of service comes from servant. Leaders are meant to serve others to be effective. Bring back servanthood and make service your top priority.




    One Thing You Can Do To Impact Others for Life | MWM
    Live To Serve = When you are one step ahead of others and have someone right there to help you along the way, it gives you and others the opportunity to serve. Always be there for others, serve them, and support them.

    Serve Others! = Become invaluable by being a good teammate. Value others’ needs, and learn to serve others. Become the person that makes the people around you better. How can you serve others today and become invaluable?


    You Are Where You Are Because of You Ability to Serve
    We Have A Purpose = When you get anxious, remember you are where you are because there is a unique way that you are meant to serve. Ask yourself, “How am I meant to serve in this situation?” We all are here for a purpose and have something to share that can be of service to others.
