A recent incident in my company reminded of a really important maxim for effectively managing people; be hard on the problem, not on the person. If you have the right people getting hard on the problem it can help drive the desired behaviour that you want and need.
What do you stand for?
You have no problems
Create an education roadmap
There are two types of people in this world; people who dabble in life and people who commit to mastery. Dabbling is when you try something new, but as soon as it gets hard you give up and chase the next ‘get rich quick’ scheme.
Mastery is when you consciously decide what’s important then stick with it until it becomes part of who you are, a new way of operating, a new standard.
I think one of the most important decisions you can make is to decide to master the core areas of you life. There aren’t that many; relationships, health, business, spirituality, family, and finance are my top ones.
To master these map out where you want to get to, then determine what you need to learn to get there, then create an education plan to learn the skills you need.
Become who you need to be to do what you need to do to have what you want.
Life success isn’t complicated, but it does take dedication.

In arguments, we often want to be right. But being right is not the same as being wise.
One of the greatest lies we tell ourselves is that we’re falling behind. That someone else is ahead.
As a young man I associated strength with force; louder voices, sharper opinions, firm lines in the sand.
There’s a strange kind of pride we’ve developed in being exhausted. But even lions, the king of the jungle, rest.
I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't have ambition.
We sometimes believe strength means self-sufficiency — that being independent means being isolated.
We often try to outrun the storm, emotionally, physically, spiritually.
We’re entering an age where machines do our thinking before we’ve even had a chance to try.
Money follows value
I love business. I love the impact a great business can have on its customers, its staff, the wider community, and for the owner.
Business done well is like alchemy; you can create value where there once was nothing, you can create value from an idea, you can turn ‘lead’ into ‘gold’.
Business owners who do it well can get very rich, if that’s what they want. But in my experience those whose sole purpose for getting into business is to get rich tend to struggle.
Money follows value as I shared in last week’s blog.
Give to get.
As Zig Zigglar famously said, 'You can have everything in life that you want if you just give enough other people what they want.'
