This morning, my one-year old insisted that he eat his breakfast, by himself and that he didn’t need my help.
It was messy.
It took longer.
His technique was poor.
But….
He had fun.
He ate it all.
He accomplished more than I thought he could.
I told him afterwards that he taught me an important leadership lesson. That I need to be intentional about giving leadership away to those who might be a little green, but are itching for an opportunity to be entrusted with an opportunity to lead.
Well done, Wyatt! Only 884 more Saturdays until you take on the world for yourself. You’re one step closer to being prepared to lead on your own.
1. Just do it – Set your timer for 60 minutes. Write. At the end of 60 minutes press publish.
2. Just do it – Put it in your schedule. One hour, every six weeks, for the next year. If something comes up, adjust your schedule. Having it in your schedule will force you to do it instead of hoping in happens.
3. Just do it – Open a Mailchimp account and set your timer for another 60 minutes and figure it out.
I am constantly amazed at the people and organizations that want me to faithfully send money each month but can’t take the time at least once in six weeks to send me a photo or three paragraphs describing the impact they are having. For many the improvement is being intentional about starting and just doing it.
Your impact is big. We want to celebrate with you.
