Significance > Success

Significance over success. People can project success, but you cannot project significance.

Servant leaders don’t look to be the most successful in the room; they look to become significant. Being significant is about how we affect others. It is never about one person or one thing.

Significance always involves a purpose that leads to meaning in life.

A recent study by Hofmann and colleagues linked self-discipline to life satisfaction. Self-control may not give instant gratification, but it does bring success in the long run.

Discipline is nothing else than a dressed-up word for having faith in yourself. You show up and don’t see results immediately, but you trust that consistency, perseverance, and dedication will get you where you want to be.
 
Leadership is all about what you do over and over again daily. It’s about your rituals and routines. The lesson is simple: Discipline and self-awareness can be the difference between average performance and greatness.

Give it 100%. But give 100% of YOU. Faking it till you make it won’t work- You need to BECOME it. Never underestimate the power of transparency and authenticity.

That`s a wrap! @stephg2056 and I had a blast repping our company, Global Post Auditing Solutions, at the #TPM23 conference in Cali this week.

Every year we leave inspired by the group of shipping industry professionals from around the world that this event attracts.

Back to the #lowcountry we go. ✈️

I’ve seen people give up at the first sign of hardship or failure because they don’t understand that the amount of time they put into their work isn’t proportional to their eventual success.

Plant the seeds early, and you will reap the rewards later. 👏

The harder it is for someone to imitate what you have, the greater your competitive advantage.

Larger risk = Larger reward.

We would never be able to walk or run if we were afraid to crawl or stand up. Stand up, fall again, and sometimes bang our heads. Be humble and grateful in success and resilient and persistent in failure.

A Harvard Business School survey found that 94% of working professionals reported working more than 50 hours per week, and half said they worked more than 65 hours.

I’ve done my fair share of working 80+ hours a week, and I can tell you that it’s not sustainable.

As entrepreneurs and leaders, it can be tough to say no, because we are so focused on the prize. Remember that to do one thing, you must give up something else. When you’re not focusing on your health or family, are you truly living your best life?

I challenge you to create work-life balance goals to help you better manage your time, relationships, and health in 2023.

Get this right, and you’ll be effective, efficient, and, most importantly, a great example to those around you.

I’m sure you are familiar with the risks of burnout, and maybe you have already had to overcome it at some point in your life.

When I launched my first business, Big Sky Enterprises, I didn’t realize how much energy I poured into my business instead of myself. As time passed, any form of a balanced life went out the window.

The same happened to Lisa Hammett.

Before starting her own business, she worked in the corporate retail industry for 26 years. She was stressed, burnt out, and unhealthy. Now, she provides people with the strategies she used to help them take charge of their lives by releasing limiting beliefs that drive unhealthy behavior and resetting their mindset so they can live their happiest, healthiest, and most successful life.

Join Lisa and me this Wednesday on Tips in 10, where she will share her story and the secrets to going from burnout to living your best life.

⏰ Tune in Wednesday at noon EST. Link in bio!

If I only cared about my success, I wouldn't be where I am today. Shared success will get your further than selfish success. The simple ingredient to shared success is being genuine, caring for others, and helping those around you.

Something I learned recently really emphasized the point of shared success, and I'm going to share it with you:

Trees create a sustainable ecosystem by helping the other tree's around them grow. They can feel when another tree is lacking nutrients, those around them come together and send nutrients to the tree needing help to survive.

My life's purpose is similar- I want everyone I connect with to be successful, so I create a culture of connection. When your purpose is to grow personally and professionally, you need to extend the olive branch to those around you.

My entrepreneurial journey began in high school when I started a car wash and detailing business at my father’s two office buildings. I tasted the entrepreneur life, and I loved it.

Later, I went to college to study Marketing. When I graduated, I didn’t have many friends whose plan was to start their businesses. Most people decided to pursue the coveted jobs, the pre-determined paths.

In 2003, I restarted my entrepreneurial life again with Big Sky Enterprises. The box I now worked in had no walls, but all the responsibility was now on our shoulders.

I had faith that I could accomplish whatever I put my mind to. My mindset was to be a victor, not a victim.

The entrepreneur life is remarkable and extremely rewarding, but it comes at a price and requires complete focus, commitment, and the ability to fail forward.

While you might desire to be where other owners are today, are you willing to do whatever it takes? If you are, what are you waiting for?

When you stop learning, you start dying. #truth

When I walk into any room, I want to be the one asking questions, not the one who can’t shut up – and that’s because I know I have more knowledge to gain.

There is always something to learn and someone to learn from.

Significance > Success

Significance over success. People can project success, but you cannot project significance.

Servant leaders don’t look to be the most successful in the room; they look to become significant. Being significant is about how we affect others. It is never about one person or one thing.

Significance always involves a purpose that leads to meaning in life.

Did you feel a part of you wanting to challenge me, even a bit? Did you want to agree with me, but with conditions? As in, “Yes, of course, I’m grateful, but….”

Here is the thing- I don’t care how many things you can add after that word “but.” It doesn’t matter. None of that changes my original thought.

Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and reread that statement, except don’t add your “but...”

That felt good, right? What you felt was hope.

Which feels better - that moment of peace you just felt without adding the “but...” condition.

or

This feeling of dread and fear you feel right now allowing it back in?

You just showed yourself that you have the choice of what to feel. Choose hope and lead with positivity.

When we take the focus off of ourselves, not what we don’t have but do have, our effectiveness will be that much greater, and we can serve more people.

Don’t concentrate on what you want from other people. Instead, shift your focus towards helping others and creating an impact on those around you.

Live to give, and the success and commendations will come later.

I’d b nothing without giving…. It is focal point of The Grateful Life

Ed Slick Whitaker Exactly!!! 👏

💪💪I never don’t feel great doing for someone for no reason other than the giving. No matter what returns. And in that mindset things always go better for me. Whether it be career or putting my head on the pillow at night. Small scale seems to be the most powerful in my personal experience. The trenches are in need. 💪🙏❤️

Joseph Morrison love it brother and so true.

Mike Regina indeed. Give my love to the family. 🙏🫡💪
