John C. Maxwell
Everything is a tradeoff. Everywhere you leave, you leave some good things. The more successful you are, the harder it is to make tradeoffs. That's why some people become successful and then become flat. Be willing to give up income for potential, for opportunity.
John C. Maxwell
When your dream is bigger than you are, you only have two choices: give up or get help.
John C. Maxwell
Leaders who fail to prune their pride will meet demise. That's not a guess, it's a guarantee. With pride, it's not a matter of 'if' we will fall, but 'when.' There are no exceptions.
John C. Maxwell
If everyone doesn't pay the price to win, then everyone will pay the price of losing.
John C. Maxwell
A person sometimes can't make a decision unless they know what decision to make.
John C. Maxwell
Don't hide bad news. With multiple information channels available, bad news always becomes known. Be candid right from the start.
