Leadership

The best Leaders know that their purpose is to Serve.

Leadership is not authority.
Leadership is not position.
Leadership using authority and position is always going to be short lived.

John Maxwell says that Leadership is Influence, nothing more and nothing less.

Some people use authority, position and fear to get people to follow them, because the leader lacks the skills, knowledge and wisdom of being a Servant Leader.

Servant Leaders have people follow them, because the people want to and not because they have to.

Jesus the Master Teacher and Leader said it best. He said that he came to serve, not to be served.
Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant.

So, Leaders please learn to Serve.

Exercise Daily

Exercise your Spirit.
Exercise your Mind.
Exercise your Body.

That's right, YOU must Exercise Daily.

When we speak about exercise most people think only about working out the BODY.
It is of no use to exercise the body without exercising the mind and Spirit.

What is the use of having a car with brand new tires and the engine not tuned-up?
What is the use of having a car with good tires and a good engine but no Gas to start?

What is the use of having a fit body and a brain that is incapable of putting it to work?
What is the use of having a good body and good mind but using both to do harm to others?

You must develop your Spirit, Mind and Body. You must develop all three to function right. - Barry Dillah

Your mind controls your body.
Your Spiritual connection dictates your belief system and how you THINK and use your mind.

Develop your Spirit by using Prayer, Meditation and Yoga daily.
Develop your Mind by learning something new daily.
Develop your Body by staying active daily.

Be Prepared

You Must be Prepared in Life.

Whatever you choose to do, make sure you learn to do it well.

Don't let others limit your potential.

You must find it within you to do what you choose to do.

Love what you do.

Practice what you do.

Be prepared to do what you do and you will find it easy to do.

When we struggle to do something it is because we are not prepared to do it.

We have not practiced enough.

We need to improve.

When you find a thing easy to do, it is because you have prepared well and have done it so often that it becomes effortless to do.

It becomes easy to do.

Some things are naturally easy for you to do.

Some things you need to work more on to get better at it.

Here are the important things to remember;

You have a choice in what you want to do.

You have a choice on how you want to do it.

You have a choice on how good you want to get at it.

You have a choice to decide.

It is always going to be your choice.

Your ability and results from doing anything NOW is only based on your current abilities and skills.

Your ability and results can improve IF YOU CHOOSE to work on your skills and abilities.

Being prepared is a choice.

Those who choose to be prepared eventually find everything in Life EASY. Those who choose not to be prepared ALWAYS find LIFE HARD. - Barry Dillah

Do not envy the person who finds it easy to do something.

Do not feel sorry for a person that finds it hard to do something.

Find what you want to do and make a decision to BE PREPARED, so that you do it with ease. - Barry Dillah

Keep Driving

One day a young lady was driving along with her father. They came upon a storm. The young lady asked her father what should she do, he said "keep driving". Cars began to pull over to the side, the storm was getting worse. What should I do the young lady asked, "keep driving" her father replied. On up a few feet she noticed eighteen wheelers were pulling over also. She told her dad, I must pull over I can barely see ahead. It is terrible out here everyone is pulling over. Her father told her not to give up just keep driving. Now the storm was terrible but she never stopped driving and soon she could see a little clearer. After a couple of miles she was on dry land and the sun was out. Her father said now pull over and get out. She said "but why now? He said "get out look back, at all the people that gave up and is still in the storm". You never gave up and now your storm is over. I thought this was a testimony for anyone of you that is going through something. Just because everyone else, even the ones that appear to be the largest and strongest gives up. You don't have to, because if you keep going, on up ahead your storm will soon be over and the sun will shine upon your face again.

Be blessed!

Focus on the Value you GET.

Most people never grow because they are focused on the price they must pay to invest in themselves. They are always thinking that the price is too high. They never seriously THiNK of how their lives would improve after they made the investment to their own personal growth. In order to become better we all need to focus our thoughts on the rewards and benefits of paying the price. Too many people continue to struggle because they never learn to ONLY focus on rewards and benefits. When we focus on the rewards and benefits then the price is never an issue. Learn to pay the price and your life will improve. This is a habit that all successful people have. Your LIFE will only improve after you pay the price.

Price is what you pay. Value is what you get. - Warren Buffett

Give Everything Time to Grow

Learn to give all things TIME to develop a root system and grow. Too many times we start something new and expect to see instant results. We assume that it is not working and change to yet again a new system. We get frustrated because you did not see growth or results. Consider the TIME needed to grow and produce results before you condemn any system. Think of the BAMBOO plant that has no visible growth for years because it is growing, unseen below ground,  developing it's root system, then it grows at the amazing rate of 2 inches an hour above ground. Plants have been recorded at growing over 3 feet in 24 hours. So, give your plans, your dreams, your new systems Time to grow. Remember, things are growing even when YOU can't visible see the growth. God works at a very slow pace to create perfection.

Stay Healthy

Are you healthy?
Is your health important to you?

Most people really don't THINK about their health.
Everyone is busy with life.
Busy with work.
Busy with kids.
Busy with their daily routine.
Busy with meetings.
Busy. Busy. Busy.
Too busy to Stay Healthy.

What is your health?
When we talk about health, most people think about going to the Doctor and getting a check-up.
People think about being overweight, High Blood Pressure, Diabetes and other medical conditions.
People think only of their physical health.

You won't be healthy if you don't THINK healthy. - Barry Dillah

This is what you should THINK about when it comes to your HEALTH:

1. Spiritual Health
2. Physical Health
3. Family/Social Health
4. Work Health

Spiritual health is key to your THINKING.
It is key to your Belief and Faith System.
Your Philosophy on LIFE is a very important part of you being HEALTHY.
Learn to THINK and stay positive.
Negative thinking never helps anyone.
Live in FAITH.

Physical health is also very important to your Life.

When you have your Thinking right, then and only then can you GET and STAY physically healthy. - Barry Dillah

We eat healthy because we THINK healthy. - Barry Dillah

Fix your Thinking and you will easily fix your daily diet.
Fix your daily eating habits and you fix your health issues.
Your body will renew itself after several months on your healthy thinking lifestyle.
You would not put bad gas in your car and expect it to work properly. So, do not put unhealthy food in your body. That should be common sense. However, some people don't think until it's too late.
Exercise is also very important to physical health.
A body in motion stays in motion.
Use it or loose it.
Get into the habit of walking daily.
Get into the habit of staying active.

Once you have your Spiritual and Physical health on the right track, we must work on our Family and Social Health.
Yes, your family and friends are very important to your overall well being and health.
Learn how to get along with everyone.
You cannot please everyone but you can be nice to everyone.
Learn to associate with people that are good for your health.
Yes, some people are not good for your health.
Weed out the negative people in your life.
LOVE the ones who add value to you.
DO FUN THINGS.

Now we must check our WORK health.
Work is also very important to your health.
Here is where you get to not only earn money, but to add value to others.
It is important to add value to your business and others.
Add value to your town.
Add value to your city.
Add value to the people we work with.
It is OK to Work for money by adding value to others.
But it is more important to work for TIME for yourself.
Work so you can enjoy your free time.
Work so you can enjoy your retirement time.

When you FIND YOUR BALANCE with all four areas of healthy living, you will be living the very best life you can possible live.

Knowledge and Skill

Knowledge without Skill is not a good combination.
Skill without Knowledge is also not a good combination.

You need to have both Knowledge and Skill.

Here is how you get Knowledge:
1. You PAY USING TIME to get knowledge with experience.
2. You PAY USING MONEY to get knowledge now.

Know that you will ALWAYS have to pay for knowledge.
Everyone PAYS, using Time or Money.

Since your TIME is more valuable than money, it makes sense to pay for knowledge using your money instead of using your precious Time. - Barry Dillah

Use your money and attend the Seminar.
Use your money and buy the book.
Use your money and buy the DVD/CD.
Use your money and get the information and knowledge you need now.

Knowledge is not power, APPLIED knowledge is power.

Once you get the information, you must now APPLY that knowledge and PRACTICE what you now know.

Get a coach or mentor that will help you acquire both the knowledge and skill you need.

Practice develops your SKILL.

Knowledge and Skill earns you a fortune!

Work on developing your SKILLS daily.

Learn to use what you have.

Do you know how to use what you have?
Would you like to improve your Thinking?
Would you like to enhance your skills?
Would you like to improve your results?
Would you like to learn from someone who knows how to do what you want to do?
Would you like to live a better lifestyle?
Would you like to develop better habits?

Some people really believe that they can improve without help.
Well, they can, but it will take a lot of time and cost a lot of money.

How much time and money would you save if you could learn in a day what would normally take a year to learn by trying to do it yourself?

You can read the books.
Reading the books is not enough.
How many people do you know that read the books and still cannot DO IT?
They read the diet book.
They read the selling book.
They read the closing book.
They read the positive thinking book.
They read the bible.
They read but they do not get the WISDOM from what they read.

Some things need to be explained to people by people with the WISDOM to explain. - Barry Dillah

The fastest way to learn a skill is to have a successful person train, teach, mentor and show you how to acquire that skill. - Barry Dillah

Get yourself a trainer, coach, or mentor.
Your life will improve much faster when you get help from professional people that have the experience to coach you.

Look for someone who lives the life you want to live.
Look for someone who lifts you up daily.
Look for someone who works with you.
Look for someone who is available to consult with when you need it.
Look for someone that has the knowledge to get you where you want to go.
Look for someone that already did it.

This world is filled with smart people that are broke.
Take advice from the people that walk the walk and can talk the talk.
This world is filled with unhappy broke people that think it is not necessary to ask for help.

Would you take advice from a Financial Planner that earns less than you?
Would you take advice from a teacher that cannot do what they teach?
Would you take advice from the motivational speaker that was depressed?
Would you want to learn from a fisherman that could not catch fish?

Ask for help.
Seek help from people qualified to help.

Remember, resources without knowing how to use them are wasted resources.

Freedom is a Thinking State of Mind

Are you Free?

The only people that are free are the ones that are mentally capable of being free. - Barry Dillah

You can worry or have Faith, it makes no sense doing both. - Barry Dillah 

Your Thinking can imprison you.
Lots of people are walking around everyday but not free.

Are you free from poverty?
Are you free from fear?
Are you free from medication?
Are you free in your mind or imprisoned by your own thoughts?

You cannot imprison a man who has the power to be free using his thoughts. - Barry Dillah

Are you free?

Are you free to earn as much as you want?
Are you free to work when you want?
Are you free to work as much as you want?
Are you free to do what you love?
Are you free to live the life you want?

Ask yourself this question:
How much FREE TIME do I have?
How much FREEDOM do I really have?

I am fascinated by the people that choose to limit their freedom.
People say and think they are free but their action and choices in life shows that they are really limited in their THINKING.

You were born with the power of choice.
Choose to be free.
Choose to earn more.
Choose to help more.
Choose Faith and not Fear and Worry.

Free your mind of limiting thinking and you will be FREE to do whatever you THINK is possible. - Barry Dillah

Don't let anything or anyone take away your freedom.
We were born to be free.

Learn to Give

How much did you give this year?
How much did you give this month?
How much did you give this week?
How much did you give today?

If you want to receive you must first give.
You cannot reap unless you sow.

You can give your TIME.
You can give your SERVICE.
You can give your MONEY.
You can share your experiences.
You can share your talents.
You can GIVE SOMETHING Daily.

Successful people are always giving.
Unsuccessful people are always needing something.

When you give you won't have to worry about needing. - Barry Dillah

You cannot give what you don't have.
I suggest you invest some time acquiring something to give.
If it is money you want to give, you need to work for more than you need.
If it is time you want to give, you need to work on having more time than you need.
If it is a service you want to give, you need to become skilled in the service you want to give.
If it is experience you want to share, you need to gain experience to share.
If it is your talent you want to give, you need to know what talent you have to share.
The key is to always remember that we all have something to give.

So, what do you have to give?
Time?
Money?
Service?
Skill?
Love?
Effort?
Ideas?

Whatever, you give must have VALUE.
Learn to give something of VALUE.

We were born with gifts to give.

We were born with unlimited supply of valuable gifts to give. Know your gift and give it. - Barry Dillah

Giving anything of no value is a wasted opportunity for the person giving and receiving.

Don't waste your:
Time
Money
Service
Skill

These are precious gifts that you possess.
We were born with gifts to give.

When we share and give our gifts we start the process of receiving.
When we fail to share and give our gifts we stop the process of receiving.

So, make a decision to GIVE today.
You have valued assets that need to be shared daily.
Your THINKING will change because you decided to give.
Your LIFE will change and improve when you START GIVING.

Find your Reason for doing what you are doing right now.

Be Happy

What makes you happy?

Be happy but never be satisfied.
There are always ways to improve.

If you are unhappy I suggest you learn to COUNT YOUR Blessings.

You cannot be grateful and unhappy at the same time.

Being happy is something you decide every morning before you start your day.
Happiness is a daily decision.

If you are not happy, change your THOUGHTS!

The best thing you can DO to remain happy is to DO what makes you Happy.

Taking Pills to make you happy is like taking Pills to make you Grateful.

You don't need pills to be grateful for everything you have.

Make a list of everything you are grateful for in your life.
Look at your list daily.
I'll bet that the best things on your list are not things.

Be grateful for your sight.
Be grateful for your hearing.
Be grateful for your unique skills.
Be grateful for your ability to walk.
Be grateful for everything you do have.
Be grateful for the good people in your life.
Be grateful for love.
Be grateful for life.
Be grateful for music.
Be grateful.

You cannot be grateful and depressed at the same time.

Choose to be Grateful and HAPPY.

No pain No gain is Bullshit. - Barry Dillah

We have all heard the saying "No Pain No Gain" right?

Well that's not very motivating is it?

The Truth is you don't have to feel pain to gain. - Barry Dillah

Take exercise for example;You only need to walk about 30 to 40 minutes daily or only three times weekly to GAIN the health benefits of walking. The last time I checked, walking is really not painful.

You need to have the discipline to walk daily or several times weekly.
You don't need to be in pain.

Let's take a look at work; You don't need to feel pain to work and earn money.
You don't even need to work hard.
Think about what you do for a living.
Most people have very easy work to do.
I'll bet you can teach most people to do what you do.
If you suffer from PAIN doing your work, I suggest you find something else to do.

We were not born for PAIN.
We were born to ENJOY whatever we do.

So, remember this fact:

The Truth is you don't have to feel pain to gain. - Barry Dillah
