Last week I went to Dallas to assist Michael Nichols with the Boost Leadership Conference. It was a great time to connect with him and others (most who are part of my mastermind group), but in the conference I learned a few things about leadership and relationships. I thought I would share some of my take-aways with you.

   • Grow your capacity by seeking feedback. You can only change what you can see. You need constructive feedback to SEE what you are doing.
   • Ask better questions.

4.  Leaders Have a Plan for Their Personal Lives (a personal plan or life plan)
   • A plan helps you focus your time and money.
   • Benefits of a personal plan:
     • Get a solid foundation,
     • Get a better understanding of yourself,
     • Live with focus,
     • Stay on track.
   • When you have a plan, you can give more! 
     “You have more to give.” @MichaelENichols
