b'This is one of those super uncomfortable moments when I have to admit\\u2026I don\\u2019t have it ALL figured out.\\nRecently, I was at the EntreLeadership live event and Dave Ramsey\\u2019s words cut right to my\\xa0soul. He said, \\u201cOrganizations are never limited by their opportunity or their team, they are limited by their leader.\\u201d\\nAnd the honest truth is, I regret not putting more focus on being a better leader for my team much sooner than I did.\\nNo one is born with amazing leadership skills. They take years to develop and the earlier you start, the better off you\\u2019ll be.\\xa0\\nBecause here\\u2019s the truth:\\xa0you can\\u2019t build an empire by yourself.\\xa0\\nEventually, you\\u2019ll need to bring people on who stand behind your vision and are just as motivated as you are to achieve it.\\xa0\\nAs my business grows and scales, my job is to be a\\xa0visionary\\xa0and show up for my team as a leader in a stronger way. I\\u2019ve always thought of my students and my business, but now it\\u2019s time to focus on creating a bigger stronger team of people who are empowered to make decisions, come up with ideas, and grow with my business.\\nEntreLeadership was one of the best events I\\u2019ve attended. It blew my mind. After it lit a fire under my chair to become a better leader, I knew I had to share my biggest takeaways with you.\\nI hope you learn from these and implement them into your business right away. Do not pass go, just do it. I promise you won\\u2019t regret it.\\nHere are the main takeaways:\\n\\n[15:00] There\\u2019s always room for improvement, no matter how \\u2018big\\u2019 your organization is.\\n\\n[16:12] Takeaway #1: Dave Ramsey shared how organizations are never limited by their team. They are limited by their leader. (This one really hit me in the gut!)\\n\\n[19:38] Takeaway #2: Henry Cloud asked, \\u201cDoes your team know how you are going to win?\\u201d It\\u2019s important to define what winning looks like for yourself and then share it with your team.\\xa0\\n\\n[23:39] Takeaway #3: Patrick Lencioni dropped a major value bomb when he said that fear of conflict will stifle productivity and keep you playing small. He explained that you\\u2019re cutting yourself short if you\\u2019re not encouraging your team to show their opinions even when they are challenging.\\xa0\\n\\n[32:43] Takeaway #4: Patrick Lencioni also talked about hiring people that are humble, hungry, and smart. He explained that these type of people lack excessive ego, are self-motivated, and use good judgment with people.\\xa0\\n\\n[39:32] Takeaway #5: Jesse Itzler shared his motto of \\u201cremember tomorrow.\\u201d He encourages you to ask yourself how you will feel tomorrow about any decisions that you make today. Listen to learn how I\\u2019ve implemented the Full Focus Planner with my team.\\n\\n[43:41] Takeaway #6: Sara Blakely, the creator of Spanx, told the story of her early days in the business where she went above and beyond to educate customers on her product \\u2014 she would go to the department store and talk to customers. She\\u2019s such a good example of never being too proud to get in there and do the work and get your hands dirty.\\xa0\\n\\n[48:13] Extra Credit: Write down three things that you would love your team, or your team of the future, to say about your leadership style. I\\u2019m doing this exercise too and I wish I would have asked myself this question years ago. Don\\u2019t wait.\\xa0\\n\\nLinks mentioned in this episode:\\n\\nFree List Building Masterclass\\n\\nEntreLeadership Summit\\n\\nSara Blakely\\n\\nPatrick Lencioni\\n\\nJesse Itzler\\n\\nHenry Cloud\\n\\nBrooke Castillo\\n\\nKolbe Assessment\\n\\nRead This >> The Four Obsessions of an Extraordinary Executive: A Leadership Fable\\n\\nRead This >> Radical Candor: Be a Kick-Ass Boss Without Losing Your Humanity\\n\\nRead This >> Ideal Team Player\\n\\nFull Focus Planner'
