Today John is going to talk to you about this gap and when good timing becomes procrastination. Then he’ll teach you the 3 P’s that stop procrastination. 
Once John is done with his lesson, Mark is joined again by Chris Goede as they discuss the ways in which they apply these principles to their own leadership within the Maxwell Leadership organization.

============
Failure is Your Friend | MWM
Failure Is Our Friend = In John C. Maxwell's book, Failing Forward, he discusses having the right perspective of failure. Failure is an asset when we look at it correctly. If we allow it to, failure can make our lives fuller, richer, and more effective. 
#FailingForward


The Difference Between Average and Achieving | MWM
Failure Can Be A Blessing In Disguise = John C. Maxwell's book, Failing Forward, helps people successfully fail. The difference between high achievers and average people is not their brilliance or luck, but how they look at failure. Successful people experience more failure than unsuccessful people. It isn’t the amount of failures you have had that can defeat you, it is the attitude, or mindset, you have towards failure. Successful people look at failure as a learning tool and stepping block that helps them grow. Don’t look at failure as a liability. Your mindset makes the difference. Make the most out of your failures. 

A Life-Changing New Perspective | MWM
Reframe Failure = John C. Maxwell's book, Failing Forward, talks about learning a new definition of failure. Failure can become one of the greatest assets in your life. Embrace it! Few people learn from success, but failure is a great learning tool. 


Pro Tip: Remove the "YOU" From FAILURE | MWM
Rise Above Your Mistake = In John C. Maxwell's book, Failing Forward, John tells us we need to remove the ‘you’  from failure. This doesn’t mean we should avoid taking responsibility for our failure. It means we should not take ourselves too seriously. The quicker we get over ourselves, the faster we will have success. We can’t communicate effectively if we are only focused on ourselves. We need to focus on others. 


Try This to Stop Procrastinating | MWM
Action Brings Success = John C. Maxwell's book, Failing Forward, discusses the importance of taking action and reducing fear. Fear can lead to procrastination, but action is the cure to fear (and failure). Procrastination can increase the fear of failure. There is no success without action. 


Change Your Response to Failure | MWM
Be Authentic, Not Perfect  = John C. Maxwell's book, Failing Forward, says “Change your response to failure by accepting responsibility.” There is a freedom in empowerment, but you must take responsibility as well, and be accountable. You can’t learn, change, and grow if you aren’t accountable. When you are authentic and admit your mistakes, it won’t hurt your image, but it will allow people to trust you. 


When Failure on the Outside Gets on the Inside | MWM
Don’t Internalize Failure = John C. Maxwell's book, Failing Forward, says that people shouldn’t let failure from the outside get inside of them. When people experience failure, it is important that they don’t take it personally and internalize it. When failure is internalized, it prolongs the process. You end up dealing with your own attitude and emotions, making it about yourself instead of dealing with the true issues. 


Yesterday Ended Last Night | MWM
Yesterday Ended Last Night = John C. Maxwell's book, Failing Forward, says “Say goodbye to yesterday.” Everyone has bad days, but it is important to put both yesterday's successes and yesterday’s failures behind us. If we focus too much on yesterday, it won't help us take care of today. We delay today when we focus too much on yesterday, especially when we bring the emotional, thoughts, attitudes, and ideas with us into the next day. 


How We View Things is How We Do Things | MWM
Your Perspective Matters = John C. Maxwell's book, Failing Forward, says that your world changes when you change yourself. Your perspective determines the world that you live in. You can either see failure as a plus in your life—a learning tool—or you can see failure as a negative. View failure with an abundance mindset, not a scarcity mindset. 


Be Grateful — Even For Your Bad Days | MWM
Have Gratitude In The Midst Of Failure = In John C. Maxwell's book, Failing Forward, he talks about the importance of “making a commitment to get over yourself, and start giving.” The fruit of gratitude is generosity. When we become givers, we overcome failure. People with gratitude do not see failure as final or fatal. When we learn to be grateful for our failure, we can be generous with others. 


Every Bad Experience Has Something to Teach You | MWM
A Lesson Learned Improves A Bad Experience = John C. Maxwell's book, Failing Forward, says that you should find the good in a bad experience. Change the way you think. Every bad experience has something to teach you. When you learn from a bad experience, it becomes a good experience. If you are fearful of your failure, you are less likely to learn from it. Face your failure!


Why We Overcome Failure and Hardship | MWM
Have Tenacity When Things Go Wrong = John C. Maxwell's book, Failing Forward, says that it is not easy to overcome failure or natural to take a risk, but it is important to tackle the hard things—and solve hard problems—so you can improve and learn to solve even harder problems. Take a bad experience, learn from it, and you will develop resilience, maturity, and the ability to see the big picture. Choose to take a bad experience and turn it into a good one. 


The Choice You Make, Makes You | MWM
Choose To Work On You Weakness = John C. Maxwell's book, Failing Forward, says that we all need to work on our weaknesses. Choices can be changed and improved to aid us in this endeavor. Make the right choices no matter what failure you are experiencing. Your failure is not who you are. Everyone can make the choice to change and grow.


How to Fail Your Way to Success | MWM
Fail Your Way To Success = John C. Maxwell's book, Failing Forward, says that there is very little difference between success and failure. When we perceive a large gap between success and failure, we become discouraged … But we need to close the gap and be encouraged! When we fail, we are close to success. Don’t quit! You can fail your way to success, but you can’t quit your way to success. 


Get Up, Get Over, Get Going | MWM
Get Up, Get Out, Get Going = John C. Maxwell's book, Failing Forward, says that we should get up, get over, and get going. Don’t stop taking action when you experience failure. Action brings success. You can’t sit and pull yourself out of failure. Get up!









============================




How You Can Win, Even When You Lose | MWM
Aim To Connect = Failure can be our friend. We learn from our failures, and we can use what we learn to help people. Instead of trying to impress our audience—which creates a gap—we should work to connect with our audience. When you talk about your mistakes and difficulties, and share how you overcome your challenges, it allows you to help and connect with your audience. We all have problems and we all make mistakes. Sharing these challenges will help you connect to your audience and the people lead. They will respect you for your wins, but they will love you for your failures.
#Connect


Turning Failures into Stepping Stones for Success



Make Failure Your Friend
Make Failure Your Friend = John Maxwell wrote the book, Sometimes You Win, Sometimes You Learn, to help people learn from their losses. Like all of us, he has experienced many losses, misses, and setbacks in his life. Many of us have a tendency to be mad at our failures, but John discusses in his book that we should make failure a friend and not a foe. Most of our growth and improvement doesn’t come from our successes but from or failures.

Now is the Only Time You Have | MWM
There Is No Other Time Than Now = If you are not acting on what you know you should do today, then when are you going to do it? The only time you have is now, so make today count! We often overestimate what we can do tomorrow, and over-exaggerate what we did yesterday. Today is now. No longer procrastinate, go do it now.



(NOW) Now is the Only Time You Have
Make Today Count = Procrastinators like to put things off and delay their decisions, but there is no success without action. The only time you have is now. We overestimate what we can do tomorrow, and we underestimate what we can do today. Today is NOW—don’t procrastinate!

Progress Quotes

 Quotes About Progress

  • Progress might have been all right once, but it's gone on too long. --Ogden Nash
  • Progress requires change. --Andy Stanley
  • Progress equals happiness. --Tony Robbins
  • Nothing can be done except little by little. --CHARLES BAUDELAIRE



 




The Significance of Small Steps | MWM
Small Steps Are The Stepping Stone To Bigger Things = Quantum leaps do not happen without small steps. What small steps have you decided not to take because you were looking for a bigger one? The quantum leaps that you desire will not happen without short, mundane, seemingly insignificant small steps. By taking those small, persistent steps, you can find success.



Perfectionism is Rooted in Fear
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.

Do People Really Want Perfect? | MWM
Progress Over Perfectionism = Being perfect or perfectionism is often viewed as the goal, but what people truly seek is authenticity—someone they can know, like, and trust. It's okay to be vulnerable and show the real you because progress, not perfection, is what truly matters. By embracing our imperfections and allowing others to see our true selves, we build trust and deepen connections.




Perfectionism is Rooted in Fear
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.

Scriptures
Hebrews 12:2 [looking away from all that will distract us and] focusing our eyes on Jesus, who is the Author and Perfecter of faith [the first incentive for our belief and the One who brings our faith to maturity], who for the joy [of accomplishing the goal] set before Him endured the cross, disregarding the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God [revealing His deity, His authority, and the completion of His work].
1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; instead, perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. So the one who fears has not reached perfection in love.
Hebrews 6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
Philippians 3:12 I do not say that I have already won the race or have already reached perfection. But I am pressing on, striving to lay hold of the prize for which also Christ has laid hold of me.
Job 37:16 (NLT) Do you understand how he moves the clouds with wonderful perfection and skill?
Hebrews 7:11 If perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood—and indeed the law given to the people established that priesthood—why was there still need for another priest to come, one in the order of Melchizedek, not in the order of Aaron?
Ecclesiastes 7:20 ESV Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.
Matthew 5:48 ESV You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Philippians 3:12-15 ESV Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you.
