Lessons in Leadership Bill Storm

In the pursuit of personal and professional growth, the environment you place yourself in can either be your biggest asset or your greatest hindrance. John Maxwell, in his influential work "The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth," emphasizes this through what he calls the Law of Environment. The essence of this law is captured in the maxim, "If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room."

The Law of Consistency: Motivation Gets You Going - Discipline Keeps You Going



According to John Maxwell, "Motivation gets you going, but discipline keeps you going." When it comes to leadership, the hardest person to lead is always oneself. I always make it a point to let people know I will never ask them to do anything I haven't done. That's called “Walking Your Talk.”



Today, I'd like to share five helpful leadership habits I've practiced over the years to help you and your team produce more consistent and measurable results:



1. Practice, Drill, Rehearse (PDR)

2. Statistics: Numbers Don't Lie

3. The Kaizen Report

4. Mindset Training

5. Physicality



If practiced consistently, these five habits will dramatically increase your ability to lead from the front. If you need some help introducing them to your team or have questions, please reach out, and we’ll schedule a chat.

Embracing the Power of Pausing

In the relentless pace of today's world, it's easy to get swept away in the current of constant activity and perpetual motion. Taking the time to pause allows growth to catch up with you. This is the essence of the Law of Reflection.

Unlocking Leadership Potential: The Law of the Mirror

Welcome back to our journey through “The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth.” Today, we delve into Law #3: the Law of the Mirror. As John Maxwell so eloquently puts it, "If you place a small value on yourself, rest assured the world will not raise the price." In simpler terms, your perception of yourself dictates how others perceive and treat you.

Here are 5 keys to leadership growth:

1.    Guard your self-talk: If it doesn’t propel you in the direction you want to go, then don’t entertain the thought for another second!

2.    Proximity is power: Surround yourself with individuals who uplift and challenge you.

3.    Run your own race: Focus on your journey without comparing yourself to others. Their purpose and calling have nothing to do with yours.

4.    Add value to others: Success lies in helping others succeed. Zig Ziglar said it best, “You can have everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people
get what they want.”

5.    Challenge limiting beliefs: Question and overcome self-imposed limitations. More times than not, the thing that is holding us back from reaching our true potential is
a fabrication of the mind.

The Law of the Mirror reminds us that leadership begins with self-perception. By embracing our potential and empowering others to do the same, we unlock limitless possibilities for growth and success.

The Law of Awareness: A Personal Journey Toward Fulfillment

Last week, we talked about the Law of Intentionality which taught us that growth doesn't just happen, we have to be intentional about it.

This week, we're diving into the concept of self-awareness. John Maxwell believes that “to grow yourself, you need to know yourself.”

This reminds me of a conversation I had with my son-in-law, Darin, who was in his final year of law school. He confessed to me that despite being close to graduating, he had decided that he didn't want to become an attorney. He realized this after observing my daily routine and the freedom I had to spend time with family and work from home. He expressed his desire to have a similar lifestyle and prioritize family time.

Darin's realization made me happy because it showed that he was aware of his true desires and priorities. Although I had concerns about his career path, I believed in his abilities. I shared with him the happiness formula I learned from Tony Robbins, which emphasizes the importance of aligning your life with your definition of what true happiness and fulfillment look like. I explained to Darin that he had two choices: adjust his idea of success or change his circumstances to match his vision. For both of us, changing our definition of success was not an option. We both valued the freedom to create the lives we desired.

The Happiness Formula
When your LC (Life Conditions) = BP (Your Blueprint)

Ultimately, Darin graduated with a law degree but chose a different career path that allowed him to work remotely and enjoy the same freedoms I cherish. I am proud to say that he now has a wonderful job and has even blessed me with a grandchild. His decision to prioritize self-awareness and consciously choose the life he wanted has made him a great father, and I'm thrilled that his son will be raised by someone who understands the importance of being true to oneself.

His story is one of the best examples of intentional action to achieve a desired outcome. It became my blueprint for fast-tracking my way to the top!
