When It Comes To Money, You Can't Win. If You Focus On Making It, You're Materialistic. If You Try To But Don't Make Any, You're A Loser. If You Make A Lot And Keep It, You're A Miser. If You Make It And Spend It, You're A Spendthrift. If You Don't Care About Making It, You're Unambitious. If You Make A Lot And Still Have It When You Die, You're A Fool-for Trying To Take It With You. The Only Way To Really Win With Money Is To Hold It Loosely-and Be Generous With It To Accomplish Things Of Value.

When I Had Something I Thought God Was Talking To Me About, The First Thing I Did, Before I Ever Talked To The Congregation, Was To Sit Down With The Major Influencers Of The Church And Share With Them What I Thought God Was Speaking To Me.

It Is The Leader Who Comes Alongside To Help You Improve And Grow.

They Can't Hurt You Unless You Let Them.

The Trials And Pressures Of Life--and How We Face Them--often Define Us. Confronted By Adversity, Many People Give Up While Others Rise Up. How Do Those Who Succeed Do It? They Persevere. They Find The Benefit To Them Personally That Comes From Any Trial. And They Recognize That The Best Thing About Adversity Is Coming Out On The Other Side Of It.

People Go Farther Than They Thought They Could When Someone Else Thinks They Can.

In A Word, Most Bad Attitudes Are The Result Of Selfishness.

Whenever I Mentor People And Help Them Discover Their Purpose, I Always Encourage Them To Start The Process By Discovering Their Strengths, Not Exploring Their Shortcomings. Why? Because People's Purpose In Life Is Always Connected To Their Giftedness. It Always Works That Way. You Are Not Called To Do Something That You Have No Talent For. You Will Discover Your Purpose By Finding And Remaining In Your Strength Zone.

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.

People May Teach What They Know, But They Reproduce What They Are.

Self-discipline, More Than Any Other Personal Quality I Can Think Of, Is The One Thing That Separates Successful People From The Unsuccessful. Think Of All It Encompasses: Honoring Commitments, Promises And Deadlines, Keeping Your Life On Schedule, Being Willing To Go The Extra Mile... Self-discipline Is Essential To Success. The Alternative Is A Life Ruled By Emotions, And None Of Us Can Afford That If We're Going To Fulfill Our Purpose And Realize Our Potential.

We Are To Get Wisdom And Understanding, Yet We Are Not To Lean On It Apart From The Lord.

To Connect With People, Be Yourself, At Your Best.

Most People Use Two Totally Different Sets Of Criteria For Judging Themselves Versus Others. We Tend To Judge Others According To Their Actions. It's Very Cut-and-dried. However, We Judge Ourselves By Our Intentions. Even If We Do The Wrong Thing, If We Believe Our Motives Were Good, We Let Ourselves Off The Hook. And We Are Often Willing To Do That Over And Over Before Requiring Ourselves To Change.

Successful People Reject Rejection.

Openness By The Leader Paves The Way For Ownership By The People. Without Ownership, Changes Will Be Short Term.

Time Management Is An Oxymoron. Time Is Beyond Our Control, And The Clock Keeps Ticking Regardless Of How We Lead Our Lives. Priority Management Is The Answer To Maximizing The Time We Have.

Clock Is Ticking

As A Pastor I Reinforced My Vision Over Lunches.

A Man Must Be Big Enough To Admit His Mistakes, Smart Enough To Profit From Them, And Strong Enough To Correct Them. This Sequence Is Something That All Achievers Have In Common. They Do Not See A Mistake Is As Their Failure; Rather It Is Simply A Learning Experience. Achievers View A Mistake As An Opportunity To Do Something Over Again And Do It Right The Second Time. A Mistake Is Simply The Price They Pay To Achieve Success.

Commitment Is The First Step To Every Good Thing I Know, And The Only Step That Matters When It Comes To Achievement. It Inspires And Attracts People, Shows Them You Have Conviction And Goals, That You Are Focused And Determined. And The Commitment That Is Based On Values Will Endure. Any Time You Make Choices Based On Solid Life Values, You Are In A Better Position To Sustain Your Level Of Commitment, Because You Don't Have To Continually Re-evaluate Its Importance.

I Think Many People Believe The Best Way They Can Help Others Is To Criticize Them, To Give Them The Benefit Of Their 'wisdom.' I Disagree. The Best Way To Help People Is To See The Best In Them.

The Dream Is Free...but The Journey Will Cost You Something.

I've Worked Very Hard At Giving Excellent Training And Good Materials, Resources, Books, And Then The Corporate Community Gives Me Respect. And I'm Finding Now That They Really Want A Relationship With Me, They're Letting Me In Their Lives, And Of Course, When You Get In Their Lives You Find A Tremendous Need For God.

You Never Display Your Character More Clearly Than When You Speak About The Character Of Others.

Your Thinking, More Than Anything Else, Shapes The Way You Live. It's Really True That If You Change Your Thinking, You Can Change Your Life.

The Size Of Your Miracle Depends On The Size Of Your Problem.

To Achieve Your Dreams, You Must Embrace Adversity And Make Failure A Regular Part Of Your Life. If You're Not Failing, You're Probably Not Really Moving Forward.

Set The Tone For Your Day Be Treating People Better Than You Expect To Be Treated By Them. Be The First To Smile. Express Your Appreciation For Them. Expect The Best Out Of Them. If You Act First, You Will Set Yourself Up For Success.

Leadership Involves The Heavy Burden Of Responsibility, And The Fear Of Getting It Wrong Can Paralyze A Leader.

You Will Never Change Your Life Until You Change Something You Do Daily. Success Doesn't Just Suddenly Occur One Day In Someone's Life. Neither Does Failure. Each Is A Process. Every Day Of Your Life Is Merely Preparation For The Next. What You Become Is The Result Of What You Do Today.

Good Ideas Have Expiration Dates. You Need To Act Before They Become Dated, Irrelevant Or Otherwise Spoiled.

Your Goal As A Leader Isn't To Be Indispensable To The People You Lead; It Is To Leave Your People Something That Is Indispensable To Them.

Negative Thinking Hinders Others From Making A Positive Response.

At The Beginning, All We Have Is The Vision. At That Point God Expects Us To Begin Walking In Obedience According To The Dream He Has Given Us.

When A Leader Reaches Out In Passion, He Is Usually Met With An Answering Passion.

Everyone Who Got Where He Is Started Where He Was.

Knowing How To Do A Job Is The Accomplishment Of Labor - Showing Others Is The Accomplishment Of The Teacher - Making Sure The Work Is Done By Others Is The Accomplishment Of The Manager - Inspiring Others To Do Better Work Is The Accomplishment Of The Leader.

Failed Plans Should Not Be Interpreted As A Failed Vision. Visions Don't Change, They Are Only Refined. Plans Rarely Stay The Same, And Are Scrapped Or Adjusted As Needed. Be Stubborn About The Vision, But Flexible With Your Plan.

Leadership Is Not About Titles, Positions Or Flowcharts. It Is About One Life Influencing Another.

Of All The Things A Leader Should Fear, Complacency Heads The List.

Leaders Provide For Their People What The People Cannot Provide For Themselves.

Discontent With The Status Quo Is A Great Catalyst For Vision.

Good People Always Rise To Your Level Of Expectation.

A Person Who Refuses To Risk Change Fails To Grow.

I've Been Told That Certain Species Of Fish Will Grow According To The Size Of Their Environment. Put Them In A Tiny Aquarium, And They Remain Small Even At Adulthood. Release Them Into A Huge Natural Body Of Water, And They Grow Into Their Intended Size. People Are Similar. If They Live In A Harsh And Limiting Environment, They Stay Small. But Put Them Someplace That Encourages Growth, And They Will Expand To Reach Their Potential.

If You Want To Make Your Mother Happy, Talk To Her. If You Want To Make Your Father Happy, Listen.

No Great Leader In History Fought To Prevent Change.

Most Pastors Have A Hard Time Grasping A Vision. But Vision Is The Indispensable Quality Of A Leader.

I Want To Make A Difference With People Who Want To Make A Difference, Doing Something That Makes A Difference.

Making A Difference

A Leader's Attitude Is Caught By His Or Her Followers More Quickly Than His Or Her Actions.

Great Visions Are Cast One On One.

The Leader Continually Passes On The Vision To Those Who Come Around, Knowing That Dreams, If Presented Right, Are Contagious.

Adversity Is An Opportunity For Self-discovery.

People's Purpose In Life Is Always Connected To Their Giftedness.

It's More Important To Get Along With People Than To Get Ahead Of Them.
