Lesson 8: Personal Development

John C Maxwell is a big man in the personal development world. 

I know this video is a little longer but i promise, worth it. 

-- You may think "ya, i don't need to improve myself, i got this!"

WRONG!! If you listen to all the top coaches speak they will tell you PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT is the reason they are the rock stars that they are today! 

Did they start out as rockstars? NO! They started out just like you guys- some fear, some doubt, not knowing how to be a leader.

Here is why it's important to work on YOURSELF:

Have you ever been on an airplane and notice that the instruction on the face mask say to cover yourself before you cover your children? Ever find that crazy?! Your first instinct is to cover your kids and protect them, but what about you?! If you pass out in the middle of protecting them, then what?!! 

*YOU HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, BEFORE YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF OTHER PEOPLE!*

You have to grow strong in who you are and what you are doing before you can give to other people. This is about GIVING. You are going to wear your heart on your sleeve, you are going to get very vulnerable with people. You are going to get rejected 100 times over and over again and it's going to be tough. Most people forget to take care of themselves, get rejected too many times and they quit. 

Is this going to be you?!! It better not be! Why waste your time as a coach? If you are going to want to lead a team, lead a challenge group and help others- you need to be strong in your MIND, BODY, AND SPIRIT. So not only is it vital to take care of your fitness, you have to take care of your mind! 

You need to be reading 10 pages a day, minimum. You need to be listening to PD if you cannot find the time to sit down and read it. (podcasts, audio books, youtube videos).

John C Maxwell, Darren Hardy, & Brian Tracey are amazing leaders. Their voices have molded me into the leader i am today. I am still learning every single day but i've come a long way from where it was. So today: I want you to spend some time with John C Maxwell. This is to be watched in 2 parts. 1 half today, & 1 half tomorrow. If you are ways too busy.. watch 10-20 minutes every day for 5 days. I will be assigning a new video to this group every few days for the remainder of this group. I will be asking you questions on these videos in our check ins.
