"Cultivate Abundance and Growth"
A vision rooted in the belief that success comes from clarity, intentionality, and continuous learning. This vision emphasizes the importance of identifying and pursuing what truly matters to you.
Find Your Opportunity:
Discover the opportunity to do what you are passionate about. To achieve this, you need clarity—separating the things you want in life from those you do not want.
Want Examples:
• Teaching and mentoring others
• Leadership and being the best version of yourself
• Solving problems with precision and strategy
• Strategic planning with a high-performing team
Key Principles for Success:
- Seek Mentors, Coaches, and Sponsors:
○ A mentor offers guidance and insights, often in an informal relationship.
○ A coach provides more formalized guidance, helping you achieve specific goals.
○ A sponsor is someone who advocates for you when you’re not in the room. To increase your visibility and opportunity, get a sponsor who can speak on your behalf.
- Build Your Story: Develop your narrative by embracing key responsibilities—whether that’s managing a P&L, mastering sales, or getting comfortable with the uncomfortable. This journey will strengthen your intrapreneurial and entrepreneurial skills.
- Balance Business and People: Business is full of uncertainty. The key to navigating it is finding purpose in all you do and staying authentic to yourself.
- Understand "No" is a Complete Sentence: Boundaries are essential. It’s okay to say "no" without explanation.
- Self-Assessment and Growth:
○ Perform regular self-assessments.
○ Create stretch goals that push you out of your comfort zone.
○ Simplify your approach to success—complexity only adds noise.
- Be the Right Leader at the Right Time: Leadership is about being prepared when the opportunity comes. Evaluate yourself through 360-degree feedback, or by getting input from your team on your strengths and areas for growth.
Plan for the Future:
Ask yourself, what is your 2–3 year plan? Here’s a roadmap to help you achieve your vision:
- Build Your Faith: Stay grounded and true to your beliefs.
- Develop Great Relationships: Meaningful connections are key to success.
- Take Care of Your Health: Physical and mental health are essential for longevity.
- Generate Wealth and Time Freedom: Financial independence is important, but so is having the time to enjoy it.
- Excel in Your Career: Be fully present and give your best to the current moment.
Pay It Forward:
As you progress, plan to mentor others. Consider joining a board, giving back to a charity, and sharing your story through public speaking. By inspiring others, you contribute to a cycle of growth and abundance.
