The 7 Decisions to Leadership
Written by Virginia Wild
If you see yourself as the leader that you are…STOP! See yourself as the leader you can be!
A book I am reading at the moment reveals the 7 decisions to becoming successful. It was highly recommended by a good friend of mine, John Jackson, Vice President of Leadership Development with Carbo
CopyPRO. This book is “The Travelers Gift” written by Andy Andrews.
#1. “The buck stops here” – Do not dwell on the past. It’s done. Take responsibility for your actions and future. #2. “Seek Wisdom” – Never stop learning. Follow leaders. Give back and share what you learn. #3. “Action” – Control the situation. Inspire others to go forward and they will follow you. You will become a leader. #4. “Decided Heart” – Passion!! Best way to describe this decision. #5. “Today, I will be happy” – Not feeling happy today? Write done everything that you are grateful for and happiness will be yours. #6. “Forgiveness” – Don’t just forgive others, forgive yourself. Let yourself off the hook! Move forward. #7. “I will persist without exception” – Failure is NOT an option! Do NOT give up! Do not let anything stop you from reaching your goal.
These decisions will never let you down. Always refer back to this list when you ask… “Why me?” You should be asking..”Why not me?” Never again will I blame others for my past, present or future. I am responsible for my own actions and decisions.
I am learning and growing everyday in my life and business. I hope that this enlightens you when making your decisions.
To Your Success,
Virginia Wild
