In order to live a life that is all in you need to think like a winner! One of the key differences between people who win in life and those who whine in life is those who win are all in! Those who whine in life are not committed. Understand this leadership fact; “Everything worthwhile is uphill!”
If you are going to live all in, let me say now, that it takes incredible motivation! A tremendous amount of energy is needed to keep your team motivated. There are always team members who are unmotivated.
Here are 4 key aspects of “All In” leaders that keep their team and themselves motivated:
They love their people
The love their work
They love winning
They love success of the people around them
You need motivation to begin, but HABITS will keep you in the game! Consider these truths.
•Healthy habits are a result of the right mindset.Understand that everything worthwhile is uphill and you must give your best everyday.
•You do not choose your future, rather, you choose your habits. It is your habits that determines your future.
•When you are all in you demonstrate commitment .
•You cannot challenge people to follow you when you are not moving.
•Would my peers describe me as “ALL IN”?
Question: How do you stay in once you get in?
•Understand the 100% principle everyday – What you don’t do today is lost forever – John Wooden. You do not give 60% today with the thought I will make up the difference tomorrow. It never works that way in life. We only have 100% possibility daily not 140%!
•Give your best effort to your highest priorities – You must be 100% at key times of each day.
•Share with others what you are doing – make a verbal public declaration to others about what you are doing.
•If you are doing the right thing, your “all in” should increase!
