Even a reluctant leader can become a better leader. -- Doug Smith

Why would any leader try to suppress a good idea? It's because they don't think it IS a good idea, isn't it? Or maybe it's because they need all of the ideas to be THEIR ideas. Or maybe they are not thinking it thru. There is no point to it. Holding a good idea down will likely strengthen its wings inviting it to fly somewhere else. Then, freed, it can't help you. Open up to those wild ideas. Let your creative side prosper and teach your other sides to listen. Suppressing a good idea is only temporary control. Let go. -- Doug Smith

It's real once you set a goal for it.               _/_/_/_/_/_/   The goals that matter shatter barriers.               _/_/_/_/_/_/   If you let someone else tell you what your goals are, don't complain if they don't please you.               _/_/_/_/_/_/   Achieving your goals is one of your top priorities.               _/_/_/_/_/_/   It's not just a wish if you're working on it -- it's a goal to achieve.               _/_/_/_/_/_/   Like it or not you may be remembered as a leader by how successful you were at achieving your goals.               _/_/_/_/_/_/   We achieve our goals in order to achieve our mission.               _/_/_/_/_/_/   When our goals energize us it's easier to energize others. -- Doug Smith What goal are you working on today?

"Set the kind of goals that will make something of you to achieve them." -- Jim Rohn Are you working on yourself today?  How about this week? There are no days available to skip working on yourself. Learning is a lifetime and daily assignment. What have you learned today?  That's my favorite question and I ask it several times a day because I do expect to learn MORE than one thing. There's so much to learn. So many goals to realize. It's time to get started, or if you're already in motion (good for you!) to keep going. Relentlessly. Set big, noble, challenging goals. And then? Then get to work! -- Doug Smith

If you let someone else tell you what your goals are, don't complain if they don't please you. -- Doug Smith

How much thought do you give to your goals? Goals change. We change our goals, and then our goals change us. Recognizing the power behind our goals is important in using that power. Pick ambitious goals. Write noble goals. Work on goals that matter to you. A great goal gives primary focus to all that you do. Make it great. -- Doug Smith
