MY rules to growth & success

iHave had the opportunity to travel the world & meet some great people. here are some of my rules that are essential to growth and success. 

1. Invest In The Process

if you inspire to be a runner, get a great pair of running shoes. if you inspire to be a great leader, know right from wrong and understand your actions speak louder than words. if you have to take a pay cut to get past the glass ceiling at your current job & you see growth with the new company, INVEST IN THE PROCESS.

2. Be Honest

if you are not comfortable with something someone says, does or implies, be honest and speak your mind. if you fail to express how you feel, honestly, know one will ever know how you feel!

3. Encourage Yourself

coming from a place where i was teased for being the biggest and/or one of the smartest, iHave learned to be MY primary source of motivation. i use my Bible daily for a source of encouragement but i am a firm believer that you cannot rely on other people to help you seek your purpose in life.

4. Offer Your Help 1st 

offer your help before you observe the struggle. if someone helps you out, do what you can to help them out. no rocket science to it! 

5. Virtual Favors - Texts & Emails, Don't Do It!

we have become such a virtual society! we rely on facebook, twitter, email, text & pass the message theory that we have almost forgot what it's like to have a face to face conversation to get what it is you need. physical connections, face to face conversations, go a long way!

6. BE A PERSON OF YOUR WORD

let your word be your BOND! excuses are no good. dont fill the cup with promises if you can't hold it!

7. Organic Growth.

urgent processes are always followed by calls and emails for a response but do not become a pest. let process grow in their time. "IT'S EASIER TO CUT YOU OFF THAN PUT YOU ON".

8. Be Respectful

for me this goes hand&hand with HUMILITY! the same way you acquired your material items is the same way you can lose those things! be respectful of those who have and those who do not have! you never know when you're talking to an "angel".

9. Be Generous

 generosity seems to be a lost trait! a smile is the most generous gift you can give to another person. in the workplace, if someone seems to be having a down day, a small nudge with a smile will make things that much better, believe me! SMILE

 

10. Don't Use People

finally, don't use people! you never want to take someone's kindness for a weakness. don't assume someone has the hookup because they work at the hottest electronic store or because they know "Diddy" or "Jorge Peniche". be mindful and don't use people because everything you think they may have, may not be the case at all!

For me, everyday is a struggle when I kno that I deserve more but I have a great partner and some great people around me that keep me encouraged so I don't fall down. I'm still here and I'm blessed each and every day!

 

Remain Humble. Stay Focused. & Encourage Yourself
