You're in the business of shifting mindsets. A big part of that strategy is getting others to see the impact of long-term thinking that creates value instead of short-term thinking that's only about profits.

When you have a success story that shows what you've been teaching your team works, you gain credibility.

Lead from the front. You show others how to win by putting in the work and racking up your own wins. Instead of telling your team what to do, work harder to be the example.

When you start to lose market share, respect, or eyeballs, is your initial reaction to look inward or blame others?

Consistently own your role in both success and failure. Study yourself and study the data. Instead of blaming others, point the finger back at you and find ways to get better.

The Count of Monte Crisco, the 2002 movie starring Jim Caviezel and Guy Pearce. It's one of the best revenge stories ever told.

Find creative ways to lead. People will tune you out if you keep barking at them and repeating the same messages. Better to lead them to their own conclusions with books, films, videos, and insight from people besides you.

Big thinkers. They show us that we're not thinking as big as we could and challenge us to rise up to their level.

When you meet a big thinker, instead of hating on them, study them! If they bring out your insecurity, ask WHY. If you're honest with yourself, you'll be inspired to start thinking bigger.
