Successful leaders think about their thoughts
You say you are leading. What are you thinking?
Being a great leader doesn't come from books, courses, or learning how to give feedback, handle conflict, or manage people.
Dan Sullivan, best-selling author and Founder of Strategic Coach Founder, says the most effective leaders think about their thoughts.
If you want to lead yourself first, you must train your brain from the thoughts that swallow you to those that inspire you.
As I write about in For Success Sake!, with 10 minutes a day, you can train your mind away from the negative to uncover new thoughts that bring with them new intentions, actions, and results.
The most important asset we have is our brain.
Your strongest asset is waiting for you to tap into it to become the next best version of yourself.
Too many of us listen to podcasts, read books and take courses looking for that silver bullet of motivation. Or that one thing that will change everything.
You already have everything you need to know.
With the process of thinking about your thoughts 10 minutes a day:
*You gain new perspectives when you put pen to paper with 10 minutes of discovery.
*You may even see your future there on the page beneath you.
I’ve been posting Success Nudges on social media—thought-starters to prime your thinking to explore possibilities for you, your business, and your life.
Here's how members in my group coaching program responded to this Success Nudge after learning the process of putting their best asset to work:
Belief is the thermostat that regulates how you act in life.
What will you believe as you scale your business?
I believe that I can scale and reach my goal numbers without sacrificing other areas of my life. With the correct tools, people, and organization, I can reach my goal without feeling stretched thin or like I'm sacrificing other areas of my life.
I believe that my business is real and not a fluke. That the decisions and plans to scale are legitimate and possible based on what we have already accomplished. I will step up in my role as CEO and be a better leader to work with my amazing team to make it happen. I will create space to think, breathe, and be present in other areas of my life, which will help move my business forward by giving my brain and body a break.
Before committing to this work, their answers would have seemed like a foreign language meant for someone else.
Where once there was resistance, with their consistent commitment to thinking about their thoughts and possibility, their answers became detailed, insightful, and strategically bolder.
This is advanced thinking that comes from training your brain.
This isn't manifesting—nor wishful thinking. There's work to be done when you think about your thoughts to imagine the possibility, build belief, and create a plan.
This is the work to strengthen your self-concept as a leader.
‘The unconscious will allow us to have only what we believe
we deserve. If we have a small view of ourselves, we deserve poverty. And our unconscious will see to it that we have that actually.'
Dr. David Hawkins
We are not taught to believe in ourselves. To believe we are deserving. Belief begins in our thoughts.
With all of your talent, skills, and experience, without belief, you will not achieve your highest potential.
If you think I should commit the time to think, don’t have the time for it, that’s a trap. Committing to thinking on one thought will give you back your time. The clarity that comes brings the energy and clarity that saves time.
