Summary
If you’ve ever asked the question, “Do I have what it takes?”, this episode is for you! This week, John C. Maxwell, Mark Cole, and Traci Morrow continue a new two-part series on questions leaders can ask themselves to know if they have what it takes to begin a new venture in their organization or leadership. After John’s lesson, Mark and Traci discuss how you can apply it to your life and leadership.
Key takeaways:
- The difference between average people and those that achieve is their perception of and response to failure.
- Most people are five times more likely to be optimistic about another person’s goals if that person is optimistic themselves.
- Be open-minded and always take the high road.
