Leaders are initiators who “cause” things to happen. Here are three things to cause everyday:

1) Cause TIME to work for you.

While time happens, it is up to each of us to make things happen in time… every time. People who don’t let time just pass and learn to use it wisely, cause time to work for them. To cause time to work for you, spend:

  • 80% of your time… working where you are strongest;
  • 15% of your time… working where you are learning; and
  • 5% of your time… working in other necessary areas.

2) Cause MOTION in the direction you want to go.

If you will lead yourself where you want to go, everything you touch will begin to grow. When do so, you create a path through you that becomes a trail for others to follow.

3) Cause RELATIONSHIPS so that everything else matters.

The greatest need in life is to love and be loved. There is no achievement or meaningful success outside of healthy, energy-producing relationships. To cause relationship, initiate these three things everyday: love, acceptance and forgiveness.
