Hey gang,

I apologize. I tried to post my notes as I carried about my day but WA did not let me post because I have not been premium for more than three months. I am only allowed one per day.

I am posting this late and have to get up early in the morning so what I will do right now is most the most important nuggets I received and when I can actually sit down and write my thought I will post a well thought out post.

For now if any of things strikes a cord feel free to use it to your advantage.

Here it is:

John is working on a new book and has coined a new phrase:

1. Leadershift - The ability and willingness to make a lasting change that will enhance my and my company's growth.
   
2. The Leadership game does not stay the same.
3. "Yesterday's home run won't win today's game." - Babe Ruth
4. Growth is change; therefore continued growth means continued change resulting in a leadershift.
5. If you are growing and your inner circle is not growing they become uncomfortable with your growth. You are in the wrong circle

How do you Leadershift?

1. Continually Learning, Unlearning, and Re-learning. It is never ending cycle that never stops. You should never stop growing.
1. Test, Fail, Learn, Improve, Re-enter
2. Value Yesterday but Live Today
   
1. Don't live off of yesterday's successes.
3. See the big picture as the picture keeps getting bigger
1. As the picture gets bigger the person gets bigger.
4. We have to live in today but think about tomorrow.
1. The future arrives unannounced
5. If you are going to Leadershift correctly you have to move courageously in times of uncertainty
1. Life expands or shrinks in proportion to our courage.
6. Realize that today's best will not beat tomorrow's challenges.
1. Life does not unfold slower or easier.

I have so many more notes but I think this should get you started in the wealth of knowledge I am receiving. Take some time to reflect on this abstract statements and I will post a more thoughtful post, soon.

Contact me for any questions or elaboration. Thanks.
