Episode 81 (Grow and Lead)

Welcome to this episode where we will talk about (15 INVALUABLE LAWS OF GROWTH) book written by John C. Maxwell. The book is insisting on the importance of growth to reach one's potential.

In this episode, we will talk about the first law, which is (The law of Intentionality) and it states that Growth does not happen by its own. The important points under this law are the following:

- If you have dreams, goals or ambitions, you need to grow to achieve them.

- There should be a time when you need to stop waiting for the man you want to be and start being the man you want to be.

- It is better to plan your growth with your own will, decide for yourself where you need or want to grow. Choose what you will learn and follow it with discipline, going at your own speed.

- The longer you procrastinate doing something you should do now, the more likely you are to never do it.

- If you want to grow, you need to overcome any fear you have of making mistakes. To have the will to grow, expect to make mistakes every day, and be happy with them as a sign that you are moving in the right direction.

- No successful person believes that growth comes quickly or that climbing to the top is easy. It doesn't happen like that.

- The faster you move to the stage of personal growth intentionally, the better, because growth doubles and accelerates if you continue to perform the process intentionally.

- A person's choices, not his words, are the best means of expressing his philosophy. In the long run, we shape our lives and shape ourselves. The process only ends with our death. The choices we make are ultimately our personal responsibility.

Episode 80 (Grow and Lead)

Starting from this episode, I will start with a new book. It is a very interesting and useful book that is important for any person seek to be excellent. Also, it is necessary for leaders. The book is (15 INVALUBLE LAWS OF GROWTH) written by John C. Maxwell.

In the introduction, the author pays our attention to the following points:

- The phrase (Potential) is one of the most wonderful phrases in any language. It directs our eyes forward with optimism. It is a phrase with full of hope. It promises success, implies achievement, and suggests greatness.

- To achieve your potential, you must grow, and in order to grow you must have a great will to do so.

- This book is dedicated for helping you understand how personal growth occurs and to help you to become a more influential and accomplished person.

- The details of growth vary from a person to another, but the principles are the same for everyone. This book presents laws that will teach you how to approach the goal of valuable growth. It is a key that opens the door and you will have to do the work to actually grow.

- You will not be able to change your life until you change something you do every day. By learning the rules and then applying them in your life, you will be on your way to achieving your potential. If you keep learning and growing every day over several years, you will be amazed at what you will achieve.

The book is very nice and I advice everyone to read it and implement the laws.
