Make It Great

Get Going – Get Growing

I received this e-mail and photo from Kirk Weisler a few weeks ago. It reminds me why I keep writing and doing what I’m doing, even when I don’t feel like.

Some young men approached me with a request on how to get started on the road to leadership excellence and success in life.  Of course, your “10 Ways to Make it Great!” book was the perfect primer.  It helped to facilitate discussion around goals and goal writing, identifying and using your strengths, leadership readership, the 80/20 rule and more.  They all left with a copy and commitment to get going…and get growing!
