The Right Tools & Mindset For Success
If you want to ruin a teacher of the year, make her a principal.
Teaching and leading teachers are different.
Selling and managing sales people are different.
Product knowledge and building your downline are different.
Specialists can become leaders of other specialists with purposeful study but don’t pull your best team member out of position to fill a spot they’re not equipped to be successful in.
Meetings are rarely the point. They’re important but they are most often a means to an end. The meeting is to mobilize. The next step is to execute the mission.
This is true if you sell life insurance, lead your family, teach a class or run a ministry.
Meetings require members to gather.
Mission requires members to disperse.
Meetings bring clarity to the individual.
Mission sends you out to deliver that clear message.
Meetings create little fear.
Mission requires overcoming fear.
Meetings require collective focus.
Mission requires individual focus.
Meetings help members gain strength.
Mission requires using strength.
Meetings use projections.
Mission creates data.

On this episode of the Unofficial Linchpin podcast I talk with Michael Hyatt. He’s the author of the NYT best selling book Platform; Get noticed in a noisy world, a popular keynote speaker, he has a leadership role for the SCORRE and Launch Conferences. Mike is an equipper of writers and leaders through his blogging, products and teaching at MichaelHyatt.com.
I know you’re going to love this interview with Mike whether this your first time hearing from him or you’re a long time fan. In this 30 minute episode Mike talks about several topics publicly for the first time. We explored the blessings and curses of having a healthy on-line following and frankly I think it was a great conversation. If you have a question for me, feedback for this or other Linchpin episodes or have a guest you’d like for me to invite to be on the show call me at 615-200-TAKE or shoot me an email at [email protected]

God made you special. He gave you unique gifts, perspective and passions. If we’re all special why are some of us happier and more successful than others? The difference between success and failure is the support system around you. People and books are what make my life what it is today. That sounds simplistic because it’s not that complicated.
