Your Inner Circle
I came across this drawing…. Which reminded me to stop checking the news and other lame cr@p on my phone 😊
Marc Grant sent me a great clip from a book he is reading. (I have attached a copy) I liked it so much I downloaded the book.
I love the reminder that you are only as good as the people that are closest to you. Your inner circle can push you forward or pull you down.
I’m pulling together some notes on hiring, leadership principals and raising the bar the with people you hire that I will share next week. This clip was very timely. Thank you Marc 😊

Missionaries are in it for the mission, they have grit, and care about the people around them
To reach your greatest potential you have to fight your greatest fears?
