Dynamic Leadership Quotes

John Fuhrman is a great author and a book of his that I love is called Leading Leaders to Leadership. Let John ask us, “Where Would You Like to Be a Year From Now? To Get There, You Need to Grow in Leadership.”

• "Follow your decisions with action – whether things are ideal or not- success comes in the doing."- John Fuhrman.  Most people don’t realize that a lake of action can bring a more negative result on one’s decision in life. It may be in a physical or emotional form.
• "Caring about others – without trying to figure out how you’ll be rewarded – is the fastest way to achieve wealth and happiness."- John Fuhrman.  This is the rewards one get from the Fruits of the Spirits of Love.
• "There are only two possible outcomes to a decision made today regarding your future: It will either bring you closer to your desired destination or push you further away from it."- John Fuhrman.  This was powerful for me. But the first thing I realized when I read this quote, was I needed a set destination. Without one, my daily decisions didn’t matter. So, ask your-self, what are your goals?
  Now Write them down. If it applies, put a date that you want to accomplish them by. After you are down reading this blog, your final goal is to make a plan to achieve it.
• "Once you take action, even if it’s a single, small step, you’ve set things in motion."- John Fuhrman.  Your motion is more important than your motivation. No matter how “pumped up and excited” you are about achieving a goal, until you take a step, you still in the same place.
• "While it is always important to be thankful for everything we have, it is devastating to our chances of success to become complacent with where we are." - John Fuhrman.  So many people want to argue with logic. Numbers don’t lie. If we have been in the same place for the same five or ten years, we need to do something different. If you are unwilling to lead yourself to making a change, you’ve already reached your maximum potential.
• "Learning all you can about what you do is important; but caring about people and learning how to serve are the keys to lasting success." - John Fuhrman. The four C’s to avoid: “Don’t criticize, condemn, complain, or compare.”
• "Successful leadership comes from the willingness to, at first, do something incorrectly, face the consequences, make adjustments, and do it again – until you get it right." - John Fuhrman.  I feel this is so hard for society to accomplish today. Society looks down on failing when one trys. “So why try at all.” So, the United States is slowly turning into a Socialistic Economy, when citizens are mindless drones afraid to achieve their dreams. Yet, they are jealous when others with the same opportunity reach whatever goal they have.
• "If you teach someone to be average, and that person is an excellent student, the best he or she can be is average. Yet, by setting the bar higher and teaching someone to excel, even the average student is likely to surprise you with how well he or she does." - John Fuhrman. Citizens of the United States of America need to realize that there is no bar to high. The bar that is holding our-self’s down are the books we read and the people we associate with.
  “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” – Proverbs 27:17
• "When you study anyone who has achieved extraordinary success in any area, you discover that he or she has failed many times. These were not just random failings of no consequence. They were events that were evaluated to determine what adjustments needed to be made. The world generally sees only the end results." - John Fuhrman.  The most famous of story is Thomas Edison. He tried almost 10,000 times to make a working light bulb, and learned from each attempt. In the end, he said, “I found ten thousand ways not to make a light bulb.”
• "Keep your energy focused on your goal, investing in yourself and others, until you succeed. Then go for something bigger." - John Fuhrman. The main point here is if your don’t invest in yourself, how will you expect others to follow you.

I truly believe that one becomes what they think about most. This is why the books they read and the associates one chooses is so important. The system I work with is an example of whom I associate with on a daily basis. This article I wrote today is an example of one the many books I’ve read.
