Leadership is an art that is cultivated through discipline and practice. Great leaders are not born but rather made through a series of habits and actions that shape their character and abilities. In this episode, John discusses the habits of amazing leaders and how they can be developed to become amazing leaders. Listen to this episode to learn more: [00:00] - Intro [01:09] - Qualities of great leaders [01:37] - Having a morning routine [04:00] - Deciding ahead of time [06:33] - Doing what's right [08:02] - Practicing servant leadership [11:55] - Closing remarks KEY INSIGHTS: Waking up at the right time, with or without an alarm, is important for starting the day off well. You must start the day off on the right foot and avoid harmful habits. Pre-decide and prioritize important tasks and activities, including spending time with your spouse to improve productivity and relationships.  Do the right thing instead of taking the easy route when facing challenges. It can lead to better outcomes in the long term. Prioritize the development of others by creating a culture that fosters growth and caring for individuals, helping them become exceptional leaders. NOTABLE QUOTES: "The absolute best leaders are not always the smartest, the hardest working. They're not necessarily the best-connected people. But the most amazing leaders out there intentionally commit to strategic habits that produce fantastic results." "The difference between where you are and where you might want to be is the pain that you are unwilling to endure." "Leaders who get the most out of their people are those who care most about their people." "We don't have to like everyone that's on our team. But they need to know that we care about them, no matter what."  "The best leaders are never about themselves. They are about others, building into others, helping them become great leaders." "Leaders who get the most out of their people are those who care most about their people." "In order for us to be servant leaders to be putting the needs of others before ourselves, we need to start always with having that other person in mind for every single time we are involved with that person."

If you want to be an exceptional leader for those you lead or an amazing friend/significant other for those you care about, it is crucial to understand the habits that drive amazing leaders. In his continuing discussion on this topic, John shares the remaining four habits the most amazing leaders consistently exhibit. This episode serves as a conclusion to the previous episode, where John explained the first four habits. Listen to this episode to learn more: [00:00] - Intro [01:40] - Recap of Habits of Amazing Leaders (Part 1) [01:53] - Don't quit until the job's done [03:27] - Raise your self-expectations [04:59] - Inspire yourself first [06:32] - Get back up and keep going [09:38] - Closing remarks KEY INSIGHTS: When it's done, it's done and not before: Leaders must not quit until the job is done and make the hard decisions required to lead their teams through challenges. Raise your self-expectations: To become an exceptional leader, leaders need to raise their own expectations and strive for excellence to inspire their teams to do the same. Inspire yourself first: The best leaders inspire others, but they can only do this if they are investing in themselves first.  Get back up and keep going: Even in the face of adversity or failure, great leaders do not give up. They learn from their mistakes, adapt their strategies, and keep moving forward toward their goals.  NOTABLE QUOTES: "The best leaders are intentionally committed to those habits that produce the absolute best results for themselves first, and for their teams, their families." "As leaders, if we haven't determined ahead of time for ourselves, that we're going to continue to do the job to do the thing to lead well, all the way through, then there's no way we can expect our teams, our families to do the same thing." "Keep raising those expectations of ourselves. Because when we do that, it has a fantastic and positive impact on those around us." "You have to invest in yourself as a leader. If you're not investing in yourself, you're not going to have anything to give to your people, to your families." "Learning how to inspire yourself, and myself first, is how we're going to be able to set the mark, to be able to help others get where they need to be, or where they want to be."

You're stuck in a fixed job working four or five days a week. It pays alright, the work is okay, but deep down you know there is something more for you. You've got something you are interested in, but don't quite know how you're going to make a living off it. Maybe it is something someone might call a regular job, but it's not in your current field of work. How do you make this dream a reality? We live in the social media age. Having a social media presence is important in the 21st century, but you can't quite see how it might be useful in your area of interest or even which social media platform might be best.

"There's always going to be new things to learn, whether that's for your job or your personal growth and development." "Find books on those topics that fascinate you. And you'll never be bored of reading." "The more you exercise it, the more you will begin to enjoy it, and the easier it will become."

"I wish I lived the life true to myself rather than life everybody else expected of me." "Do at least one thing that scares you."

They've been asked to write a book or, in many cases, paid to write books/given an advance to write books. Their words are carefully vetted and released into the world. Jeff analyzed what other things these successful people have in common and came up with five, which make up the acronym D.R.E.A.M. DANCE WITH DISCOMFORT - Successful people understand the value of living a life where they're consistently pushing themselves outside their comfort zone. RITUALIZE OR RE-ENGAGE - Ritualize or re-engage with reading on a regular basis. EXAMINE YOUR ENERGY - Audit your energy every now and then. ASSEMBLE YOUR ADVISORS - Surround yourself with people who have the same and/or similar goals and aspirations you do. MASTER YOUR MORNINGS - Understand the importance of self-care.
