Aim to Make Fans - Expectations
Usually, the notion is that as a leader you should aim to make friends not fans. But in the case of expectations, you should be making fans. A “fan” is made when one not only meets expectations but exceeds them. Meeting a person’s expectations will save them from disappointment; but when you exceed that same person’s expectations, you have just created yourself a fan. So, when it comes to expectations, aim to make fans. 


Aim High
Today we want you to aim high and go after all your big dreams! If you don't get out of your comfort zone you will never grow, you will continue to stay on the same path.

Capacity Quotes

Quotes About Capacity


  • Priority determines capacity. --Andy Stanley
  • Beggars market their incapacity. --Mason Cooley

    These 3 Things Will Improve Your Capacity | MWM
    https://youtu.be/kzXccfSLsNA
    Strive To Reach Your Full Capacity = What is your capacity? John C. Maxwell discusses 3 things that are needed to develop and reach full capacity in his book, No Limits. Reaching your capacity begins with being aware of who you are; you can’t fix what you are unaware of. It continues with giftedness; you need gifts to pull off your goals. And it ends with making the right choices. Your choices will either bless your gifts and allow you to reach your full capacity or undermine those gifts.



    How to increase your capacity
    https://youtu.be/YvUqXc-LgSc
    If you aren't growing every day, your capacity isn't growing. John says, "The only guarantee that tomorrow will be better is if you are growing today." What will you do for 1 hour a day to start growing intentionally?
