Don’t give up just because it got difficult. Don’t give up just because you had a setback. Don’t give up just because you got off the path. Don’t give up just because you have doubts. Don’t give up just because they don’t believe. Keep going. Keep fighting. Keep moving forward.

To love your team is to: Serve them Challenge them Hold them accountable Support them Connect with them Sacrifice for them Tell them the truth Listen to them Encourage them Fight for their highest good Love is a competitive advantage

The adversity can break you or build you. Your choice. ⛈️🦬

The pursuit to make people comfortable only makes people weak. Life doesn’t cater to our wants or preferences. The world isn’t designed to make it easy or to make you feel good. Learn to operate in uncomfortable situations. Train yourself to manage emotions and stay committed.

The only way to deal with your fear is to deal with it. Not worrying about it. Not endlessly talking about it. Not dwelling on it. Not dismissing it. Not shaming yourself for it. Not hoping it goes away. Fear thrives in idle times. Action is the antidote to fear.

Leaders don’t complain Leaders don’t blame Leaders don’t make excuses Leaders don’t get defensive Leaders don’t gossip Leaders lead. Leaders live a higher standard. Do the work.

High standards are, by design, an inconvenience. Show up anyway. Reject average. Commitment > Convenience

Signs of a weak mindset: Easily offended Blames others Resists accountability Makes excuses Insecure Quits when difficult Signs of a strong mindset: Unoffendable Secure Humble Welcomes accountability Takes ownership Embraces challenge Make your mindset your advantage.

Resilience is a competitive advantage. Here are 3 simple ways to build it, backed by science: • Do hard things. It doesn’t matter how difficult, just do them. • Reframe. Instead of dwelling on the negative, find the good. • Work out. Physical health ➡️ Mental health 💪🏼🧠

Be driven by vision, not emotion. Ask yourself, "Based on where I want to be (and where I want our team to be) in 1/3/5 years, what does this moment require of me?" It's not about what's easier now, it's about what gets you closer to where you want to be.

Resilience doesn’t come from avoiding the struggle. Grit doesn’t come from avoiding the struggle. Strength doesn’t come from avoiding the struggle. You’ll never learn to deal with hard things if you keep avoiding them. The only way through it is through it. Lean in. ⛈️🦬

Great leaders simplify. Simplify the message. Simplify the process. Simplify the values. Simplify the vision. Simplify the plan. Simple wins.

Two things you need to drive you through adversity: Purpose: remain anchored to your why Optimism: unwavering belief in yourself and in the vision Hard days/weeks/seasons happen. Learn to handle them well. ⛈️🦬

Every team says they want accountability. But real accountability isn’t easy. It’s uncomfortable. It’s inconvenient. It means calling out what you usually ignore. If you want a better culture… Stop walking past the little things. Start holding the standard every day.

You will accidentally be negative. You must intentionally choose to be positive. Own the way you show up.

The only thing stopping you from getting better is you. Take ownership. Be accountable. Do the work.

A better attitude tends to lead to a better day. Attitude is a choice.
