Habits. Keep Building.

Today I got an invitation for a team lunch with a leader of another department at the office.
I always love meeting leaders.
Almost always, I learned something.

Today I learn and reconfirm that:

1. Leader creates habit:
the person wakes up at around 5 AM, do the morning prayer, do 30 minutes exercise (6 days @ week), breakfast with family @ 6.30 AM, skip lunch (lunch consume time: menu choosing, travelling time back and forth the restaurant, reheating your brain and eye to start working again), go home at 5 or 6 PM, dinner @ 7 PM with family.

2. Leader chooses performance, efficient + effective WoW over being nice:
the leaders' team tells how the leader fiercely set target and track it over, NO mercy.

3. Leader is confident:
I can see it in every gesture, and the confidence radiates an aura that is contagious. A can do aura.

Notice that I mentioned reconfirm -above- because, those 3 are not new to me. In years of researching leaders and their success recipes, I kept on bumping unto them.

So, since it is proven, shall we?

PS: Tonite I started a new goal tracker book. A pocket-size book that I carry everywhere. Pray that I be consistent with it please :)

Maxwell oh Maxwell

Why with the title?
Because John Maxwell is one of my favourite 'online mentor' for personal growth, other than Zig Ziglar and Jim Rohn and Ken Blanchard.
And these past few days, I got excited, when I learned that he is on podcast.
So I download all of his podcast, as much as I can get, and as much as my phone memories can bear :p

Since 2 days ago, I have been repeating his podcast titled "winning is an inside job".
The most relevant key takeaway for me is "take responsibility of your life, you want to grow. Stop making excuses", and "learn from successful people".

And then he points-out the key characteristic that might be in those people, in his experience those people has at least some out of 10 of them.

I then remember, one of the words of a female global leader that came to my office said. When asked what is her key success factor, one of it being "I have a journal. Everynite I wrote what works and what don't. What could have been better. And I learn from that experience"

I would say that is her 'taking responsibility of her life'. Maxwell said, you cannot win if you do not take responsibility of your life. Because if you don't take responsibility, then you will not learn. If you do not learn, you will not win.

As simple as that. They have proven this formula. And it works. So why not give it a try?
Let's??

XOXO,
