More quotes by John C. Maxwell
If you wait until you feel like doing something, you will likely never accomplish it.
John C. Maxwell
You cannot have growth without change.
John C. Maxwell
Responsibility is the most important ability that a person can possess.
John C. Maxwell
I grew up in the home of a pastor, and my earliest memory is that God really had a plan for my life and that I was special - this is really weird - but I felt that.
John C. Maxwell
If you really want to be a successful leader, you must develop other leaders around you. You must establish a team.
John C. Maxwell
We won't fully experience joy until we've answered life's biggest question: Why am I here?
John C. Maxwell
The sheer act of listening speaks volumes that even a great speech can't communicate.
John C. Maxwell
The secret to success can be found in people's daily agendas. If they do something intentional to grow every day, they move closer to reaching their potential. If they don't, their potential slowly slips away over the course of their lifetime.
John C. Maxwell
Pay now, play later play now, pay later.
John C. Maxwell
A person sometimes can't make a decision unless they know what decision to make.
John C. Maxwell
Find your vision, and let it guide you in all that you do. If you lack vision, look inside yourself. Draw on your natural gifts and desires.
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
All great leaders have understood that their number one responsibility is cultivating their own discipline and personal growth. Those who cannot lead themselves cannot lead others.
John C. Maxwell
For leaders to be effective, they need to connect with people.
John C. Maxwell
Three reasons problems are inevitable first, we live in a world of growing complexity and diversity second, we interact with people and third, we cannot control all the situation we face.
John C. Maxwell
Dont ever be impressed with goal setting be impressed with goal getting. Reaching new goals and moving to a higher level of performance always requires change, and change feels awkward. But take comfort in the knowledge that if a change doesn't feel uncomfortable, then it's propably not really a change.
John C. Maxwell
Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them.
John C. Maxwell
If your desire is a 10 but your self-esteem is a 5, you'll never perform at the level of a 10. You'll perform as a 5 or lower. People are ever able to outperform their self-image.
John C. Maxwell
We don't grow on accident, we grow on purpose.
John C. Maxwell
People tend to become what the most important people in their lives think they will become.
John C. Maxwell
