Sustain The Flame Of Your Inspiration  = Inspiration is powerful, provides light, warmth, vision, and energy. It is important for success, but it can burn out. What systems do you have in your life that fuel the flame of inspiration? Don’t leave inspiration wanting for a process—be intentional, make a plan, sustain the flame.

Inspiring Leaders

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe eloquently described the power and influence of inspiring leaders when he wrote: "I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal."
Have you considered how your mood, behaviors, and actions will influence others. Researchers Jack Zenger and Joe Folkman have studied inspiring leaders and marveled at their ability to create new attitudes and emotions in others.

Inspiring Quotes

Quotes About Inspiration or Inspiring
  • Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be. --Ralph Waldo Emerson
  • If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. --John Quincy Adams
  • To succeed, you need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you. --Tony Dorsett



Who Inspires You? | MWM
Who Inspires You? And what inspires you? John Maxwell tells us that, more than anything else, his greatest inspiration comes from adding value to others. If what he shares can lift your day, give you a new perspective, or nudge you in the right direction, that’s his “why.” It’s why he writes. It’s why he speaks.



What Are You Inspired to Do?
https://youtu.be/8ywvliUL3sg
Lead With Inspiration = There is a difference between being inspired and being motivated. Inspiration comes from within. Listen to yourself and pay attention to what you feel inspired and led to do. The way you live your life and overcome challenges can be an inspiration to others. Who are you meant to inspire? How can you show up in a way that is inspiring to others?

Excellence Quotes

Quotes About Excellence

MWM | EXCELLENCE
The Price Of Excellence = Excellence takes time. It's not compromising on the standard. Excellence is chasing the higher bar. It's the little things that get you noticed and push you to the top. Nothing says excellence like an unwavering commitment to the standard all the way down to the smallest of details. But are you willing to pay the price for the pursuit of excellence? 



What Makes Charismatic Leaders Different | MWM
Do Everything With Excellence = Do everything with excellence. One of the things that sets people apart from others is excellence. Don't just try to meet expectations, exceed them. And when you exceed them, it's because you do everything with excellence—you have a high standard for yourself that extends to other people to help lift them up as well.



Practice + High Expectations = Mastery | MWM
Excel In All That You Do = A person that loves mastery loves to do things extremely well, and they will exceed expectations in everything they do. To become a person of mastery, don't try to master a lot of things immediately. Pick one thing that you can really do with excellence and go for it, practice it, have high expectations, and give it 100%. That level of mastery will pay off for you!




Practice + High Expectations = Mastery
https://youtu.be/dsQkTRU8-i4
Are You Motivated By Mastery? = In his book, The Leader’s Greatest Return, John Maxwell discusses what motivates people and how it is important to sit down with your team and learn what motivates them. Mastery is one of the 7 motivations he discusses. A person who is motivated by mastery loves to do things extremely well and exceed expectations. To become a person of mastery, don’t try to master everything, but focus on the one thing that would really benefit your life. When you discover that thing, practice every day, have high expectations, and give 100%. 


Perfectionism is Rooted in Fear

Giving the Gift of “Your Best”
https://youtu.be/k1fauM58agI






Chose Progress Over Perfection = So many of us struggle with perfectionism. It is rooted in fear and can lead to procrastination. Instead of being a perfectionist, focus on excellence—learning in the journey—the process of making something good and then great. Perfectionism is elusive, it is a state that you can never reach. If you choose excellence over perfectionism, you are choosing progress over perfection.

Are You Telling, or Are You Creating a Shared Experience?
Have A Hunger To Learn = When the student is ready, the teacher appears. Leaders should work to share an experience rather than just teaching it. A really good teacher makes the student part of the lesson, instead of trying to make the lesson part of the student. Teach well by sharing what you know with others.  


Have Something Worth Saying = When you have something worth saying people will listen. How can you make content weighty and life-changing? The best content involves education, action, entertainment, and connection. Use these 4 things when you communicate and make your audience feel like they are a part of something … Your communication will advance to the next level.
