Sometimes you need a sonofabitch to lead people in your organization. When you're evaluating talent, value ambition and character more than skill and experience.

What percentage of the success of your team is on you and how much is on them? For example, if you're leading a sales team, do you attribute success to their character and skill or your leadership and coaching?

The sooner you take responsibility for your life and see that you are at the center of both success and failure, the sooner you become the creator (and not the reactor) of your life.

"People do not decide their futures; they decide their habits and their habits decide their futures." -F.M. Alexander, Australian author

Commit to habits. On the days you don't feel like following through on your habits, that's when you show what you're made of. Keeping your promises to yourself is the first step in proving your worth to the person who matters most...YOU!

This brilliant quote from the creator of a Bronx Tale, Chazz Palminteri: "The saddest thing in life is wasted talent. You could have all the talent in the world, but if you don't do the right thing, then nothing happens."

Make the most of your talent. Do not let another year pass without giving your life your best shot.

Your unique gifts, which some people call superpowers.

Show the gratitude for your gifts by putting them to use for your family, your team, and yourself. The world needs you this year more than ever!
