ONE QUESTION

Do you ever think about what you think about?

ONE THING TO PONDER

Sometimes your next level of life isn’t achievement, it’s about finding alignment.

ONE PERSPECTIVE - 25 TRUTHS FROM ‘24

My philosophy and perspective on leadership is about developing better humans, not just better businesses. What I believe to be true is that when we develop ourselves, our lives and businesses improve as a consequence.

ON SELF LEADERSHIP

The soul would rather fail at its own life than succeed at someone else’s. True success comes from authenticity. Your soul yearns to succeed on its own terms, not by imitating others.

Better questions lead to better answers, better answers lead to a better life. 

I can’t be a person that wants change yet not be willing to change.

Setting boundaries requires you to be ok with the consequences of those boundaries.

Without love for myself, nothing else matters. 

With love for myself, nothing else matters. 

ON MINDSET AND AWARENESS

It’s really hard to be happy when you’re constantly wanting things to be different.

Resentment is created by unmet needs. If you’re resentful, look in the mirror and identify which boundaries you didn’t communicate. 

No pessimist ever discovers what is possible or what their potential is.

The height of growth and achievement are about how well you face challenges.

Fear is a mile wide and an inch deep. 

ON MONEY

I see a lot of people chasing wealth over a better life not because they are greedy, but because they are afraid to be judged to live a different lifestyle. 

Our relationship with wealth ultimately reveals deeper truths:

• Some see it as a tool. 

• Some see it as their value or self worth

• Some see it as evil 

• You choose.

ON HARD TRUTHS

The toughest mornings sober are still better than the smallest hangovers.

Stop confusing hard work with being productive. 

You’re not tired, you’re just disinterested or disengaged.

Nothing creates more stress than the desire to avoid stress. Until you understand that life is demanding, you can’t begin living. 

Emotional pain and trauma has more endurance than your strength to push it down. It will hang out until you’re done fooling yourself that you’ve addressed it.

ON MOVING FORWARD

Never doubt your ability, question your commitment. 

Convenience and greatness cannot co-exist. You have a choice.

The seed of entitlement is planted the second you believe you deserve something without earning it. 

If your desire to be recognized is greater than your desire for feedback, your growth journey will be stunted.

God has his plan, my job is to be a good steward along the way. 

Anything that you’re not willing to let go of or accept is the very thing keeping you trapped. 

Sometimes your next level of life isn’t achievement, it’s alignment -Burchard

ON GRATITUDE

For those of you that have signed up for this newsletter, and for those that read to this point, my sincere hope is that 1-2 of these have resonated with you.

Words don’t invoke the true gratitude that I have, but know that it’s there, and I want you to know that I appreciate each of you. 

There is so much great happening and so much to look forward to! 

I’ll see you along the way!

Onward and upward!
