John C. Maxwell

John C. Maxwell

John C. Maxwell

John C. Maxwell

John C. Maxwell
The key to becoming a more efficient leader isn't checking off all the items on your to-do list each day. It's in forming the habit of prioritizing your time so that you are accomplishing your most important goals in an efficient manner.
John C. Maxwell
If you wait until you feel like doing something, you will likely never accomplish it.
John C. Maxwell
When a person starts to talk about their dreams, it's as if something bubbles up from within. Their eyes brighten, their face glows, and you can feel the excitement in their words.
John C. Maxwell
Good ideas have expiration dates. You need to act before they become dated, irrelevant or otherwise spoiled.
John C. Maxwell
Experience teaches nothing, but evaluated experience teaches everything.
John C. Maxwell
A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.
John C. Maxwell
The greatest mistake a person can make is doing nothing.
John C. Maxwell
Failure is an inside job. So is success. If you want to achieve, you have to win the war in your thinking first. You can't let the failure outside you get inside you.
John C. Maxwell
