A humble leader is someone who knows that they are not perfect and makes an effort to be as open and transparent as possible. They take accountability for their mistakes, admit them when needed, and don't blame others. Humility also means being confident in your own abilities without feeling the need to prove it by putting others down or making yourself look better than you are.
In this episode, I am going to give you 6 key points to help you focus on becoming a more humble leader as well as 6 benefits from showing humility to those you lead.
Quotes from this episode:
Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less. -C. S. Lewis
Pride makes us artificial and humility makes us real. -Thomas Merton
"Thank you" is the best prayer that anyone could say. I say that one a lot. Thank you expresses extreme gratitude, humility, understanding. -Alice Walker
The proud man can learn humility, but he will be proud of it. -Mignon McLaughlin
Pride must die in you, or nothing of heaven can live in you. Andrew Murray
Humility is nothing but truth, and pride is nothing but lying. St. Vincent de Paul

In this episode, I share with you a quote about how much access to tools and resources we have access to but don’t really implement.
“What you make of life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you also. The choice is yours. Be mindful of your choice." - Denis Waitley

Every entrepreneur has a different story, but they all have one thing in common - hustle. There is no set path to success and every entrepreneur has their own journey with obstacles that they overcome on the way to being successful. In this episode, I will explore 6 habits of highly effective entrepreneurs that I have noticed and implemented into my own habits and how you can use these habits to be more productive as an entrepreneur.
Quotes from this episode:
“Successful people aren’t born that way. They become successful by establishing the habit of doing things unsuccessful people don’t like to do.” ―William Makepeace Thackeray
“Depending on what they are, our habits will either make us or break us. We become what we repeatedly do.” ―Sean Covey
“It is easier to prevent bad habits than to break them.” ―Benjamin Franklin
“If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude.” ―Colin Powell
“If you pick the right small behavior and sequence it right, then you won’t have to motivate yourself to have it grow. It will just happen naturally, like a good seed planted in a good spot.” ―BJ Fogg

The society we live in today has become so reliant on constant entertainment, we need to learn how to enjoy boredom and use our minds. In this episode, I will discuss how we can relearn the art of being bored and be more mindful of our time.
I also give you my 7 Benefits of being present and letting yourself be bored that I have personally been experiencing.
And finally, I share some tips that I have been able to maximize during this time of being bored.
Quotes from this episode:
Neil Gaiman: “The best way to come up with new ideas is to get really bored.”
Steve Jobs: “I’m a big believer in boredom. Boredom allows one to indulge in curiosity, and out of curiosity comes everything.”
Peter Bregman: “Being bored is a precious thing, a state of mind we should pursue. Once boredom sets in, our minds begin to wander, looking for something exciting, something interesting to land on. And that’s where creativity arises.”
Scott Adams: “I’ve noticed that my best ideas always bubble up when the outside world fails in its primary job of frightening, wounding, or entertaining me.”
Joseph Brodsky: “Boredom is your window… Once this window opens, don’t try to shut it; on the contrary, throw it wide open.”
Albert Einstein: “Creativity is the residue of time wasted.”
Jon Jabat-Zinn "When you pay attention to boredom it gets unbelievably interesting."
Ralph Waldo Emerson: “Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds. Discard them and their value will never be known. Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life.”

A book review of John C. Maxwell's book Everyone Communicates Few Connect.
I am a big fan of John C. Maxwell's books. Have read a ton of them over the years. It never fails whenever I read one I find myself underlining many parts of the book and going back through it again to pull out parts that I feel are the most relevant for my life. This book is no different. But to hear my overall thoughts you will need to listen to this episode.
Order the book here: https://amzn.to/3frrHyU
Quotes from this episode:

“When you connect with others, you position yourself to make the most of your skills and talents.”
“The ability to connect with others begins with understanding the value of people.”
“I was trying to get ahead by correcting others when I should have been trying to connect with others.”
“Maturity does not always come with age; sometimes age comes alone.”
“What you are speaks so loudly that I can’t hear what you say.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
“The wise does at once what the fool does at last.” Jewish Proverb
“To connect with people, be yourself, at your best.” Charlie Wetzel
