SHARE

Stay focused on the vision. When you fully commit to it, you'll feel fulfilled and get all the spoils. If you chase fame or money, you'll likely end up with nothing.

Don't share your vision with me (or another demanding leader) unless you are prepared to live up to it. Once you say it, be prepared to be held to it.

Your vision...chase it or change it. If you're going to declare a big vision, be prepared to be held accountable to it. If you want to coast and live an easy life, that's fine. Just don't proclaim that you want more.

Bank on habits. If you want long-term success, commit to habits. Make consistent actions non-negotiable and put in the day-to-day work.

Focus on consistency. Stop looking for quick hits or contests to spike revenue or enthusiasm. Instead, stay committed to your daily habits.

After Steve: How Apple Became a Trillion-Dollar Company and Lost its Soul

If you run a company, even if you're young, you must think about how you're going to duplicate yourself and how the company will maintain its principles and values after you leave. When you think five moves ahead, you have a succession plan.

Emotion. Your anger, your desire, your frustration, your disappointment...they are all fuel. Instead of judging yourself for these emotions, learn to channel them into both your work ethic and your leadership style.

Constantly tap into emotion and paint a picture of what people's life is going to look like when they commit to their vision. 95% of people only speak the language of logic...which is why they don't level up.
