COT: Many men fail because worry convinces them not to act. Leadership often requires moving before certainty arrives.
Your body and brain are telling you something is out of place.
Acknowledge it and then identify an action you can take.
It may not immediately solve the problem, but It will keep you moving forward instead of getting stuck in the worry loop.
Matthew 6:34 – “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.”

Q-school lessons shared from 3 C’s and four corners. Reminders that simple can be effective.

COT: 5th core principle
The 3 lessons of leadership were shared at the end as a segue to the 2nd/3rd f discussion and how we navigate this in our lives.
1) YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE HARD DECISIONS THAT NEGATIVELY IMPACT
PEOPLE YOU CARE ABOUT.
2) YOU WILL BE DISLIKED DESPITE YOUR BEST ATTEMPTS TO DO THE BEST FOR THE MOST.
3) YOU WILL BE MISUNDERSTOOD, AND YOU WON'T ALWAYS HAVE THE CHANCE TO DEFEND YOURSELF.
