That will make power powerful.

True Power is the Relinquishing of Power
https://youtu.be/GlZmfzNwCrw
Relinquish Your Power = George Washington relinquished his power when he decided not to be king. He wasn’t willing to allow power to corrupt his character. Great leaders leverage their power for the sake of others, and at some point, they relinquish their power.
As a customer, you can leverage your power by thanking those who serve you. By doing this, you relinquish your power for the good of others through encouragement. You become a powerful voice in another’s life. As a leader, look for ways to relinquish and release your power for the sake of those around you.



Words are an essential part of communication and leadership. This video will help you gain insight on a different word every single day, add value and make a difference in your life.

  • Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth. --Albert Einstein (1879-1955); physicist and mathematician.

Close Your Energy Gap | MWM
Close your energy gap. Every challenge demands energy—sometimes more than we realize. Learn to replenish your reserves and strengthen your capacity, and you’ll find yourself more focused, balanced, and resilient in reaching your goals.


A Big Miss in People's Lives | MWM
Energy Expended Is Energy Returned = Connecting always requires energy. When you are connecting with people, you need to give it your all—you have to enter someone else's world and find common ground, which requires energy, but the energy expended will give you a higher return.



Bringing Excellent Energy to the Day
https://youtu.be/fw--AgCOh6o
Don’t Make Excuses = Energetic people are life-giving. We need to bring authentic energy with us in all we do. When met with a new task or challenge, if you don’t make excuses, your energy will carry you through. Bring energy to your interactions today.





Passionate leaders are never lacking energy. When you have passion—when you are passionate about a goal, a dream, a life-altering, difference-making idea, or a concept determined to change the world—you will never lack the drive to get it done. You might have setbacks or roadblocks that get in your way, but you will have the energy to keep going, to overcome. So, what are you passionate about? Wake up energized and go get it!

Empowerment and Accountability Go Hand-in-Hand | MWM
Freedom Requires Accountability = We all like to be empowered, free to express ourselves, call the shots, and build something with our own giftedness. If you want the freedom of empowerment you have to be accountable. Accountability with empowerment allows us to reach our potential.





Only Secure Leaders Give Power to Others | MWM
Empowering Others Leads To Greatness = In his book, The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, John Maxwell discusses the Law of Empowerment, which says that only secure leaders give power to others. Insecure leaders keep the power for themselves. The only way to compound your influence, power, or money, is to equip and empower others to do what you can do. Secure leaders are comfortable handing the baton, empowering others and giving them credit. One is too small a number to achieve greatness.




Empowerment and Accountability Go Hand-in-Hand
Freedom Requires Accountability = We all like to be empowered—free to express ourselves, call the shots, and build something with our own giftedness. If you want the freedom of empowerment, you have to be accountable. Accountability with empowerment allows us to reach our potential.


With Great Empowerment Comes Great Responsibility
We Are Accountable = We all want others to empower us. We desire the freedom to make decisions on our own … To spread our wings and discover what we can do … But there is accountability with empowerment. Remember, we are responsible for the actions we are empowered to take.


I know what I need to do, but I don't know how to do it?
Do you ever feel like, I know what I need to do, but I don't know how to do it?
John Maxwell felt the same way until he invested in his Growth Plan.
