Stop trying to be God. Be a leader and accept that you can never know exactly what people are thinking. Control what you can, lead by example, and accept that you'll never have all the answers.

Managing people requires both logical and emotional skills. You have to challenge, motivate, encourage, train, set goals, create consequences, and show love.

If you're going to bank on any one emotion, make it love. As important as it to balance how you lead, you won't go wrong if you lead from the heart and over-do it when it comes to love.

Focus on the fundamentals--outwork, out-improve, outlast, and out-strategize. The market is going to expose those without real businesses and create trillions of dollars of wealth for those who are putting in the work and creating real value.

Chapter 12 of the book Crucial Conversations. This chapter was the focus of a call with my C-suite this week. It's about needing to learn how to recognize when a crucial conversation is about to occur or needs to occur.

Stop skimming books and start using them. Passively taking in information won't get you anywhere. When you have an A-ha moment, put it into practice immediately for yourself and your team.

Your healthy running mates. “The Longevity Project” studied over 1000 people from youth to death and found that, “The groups you associate with often determine the type of person you become. For people who want improved health, association with other healthy people is usually the strongest and most direct path of change.”

Look around. Study the people you're spending most of your time with and determine if they are living the type of life you want for yourself. Based on what you see, your next moves will be obvious.
