Setting up others to take it higher and further

It might have started with you, but it’s no longer about you.

What are you doing to set up those that follow?

What knowledge do you have that they need to know?

What have been the key learnings?

What tips and traps have you passed on?

What worked and what didn’t?

Have you given them the lay of the land?

Let them know who’s who?

Are you setting them up for success?

To be even more successful.

What can you do so that others take it higher and further?

 

“The most meaningful way to succeed is to help others succeed.” – Adam Grant

“How can you succeed by helping others succeed? We succeed at our very best only when we help others succeed.” – James C. Collins

 

Look back and realise how far you’ve come

There is always more to do.

You might think you are not going fast enough.

You may be frustrated by a lack of progress.

It might feel like you are making no headway.

That there has been little forward momentum.

So, take the time to stop and look back.

Then you will realise just how far you have come.

 

“Pull over to the side of your journey and look how far you’ve come.” – Danielle LaPorte

“Sometimes it’s the journey that teaches you a lot about your destination.” – Drake

 

Doing great work

Do great work.

Work you love doing.

Deliver great projects.

Projects that really add value.

Generate great results.

Results that are sustainable.

Work with great people.

People that you respect.

Great work gets noticed.

Great work gets remarked upon.

Doing great work generates opportunities.

More opportunities to do great work.

 

“How dare you settle for less when the world has made it so easy for you to be remarkable?” – Seth Godin.

“When you work with people whom you like and you admire because they’re so good at what they do, it doesn’t feel like work. It’s like you’re playing.” – Stan Lee

 

Keep showing up

Show up ready.

Show up with good intentions.

Show up with energy.

With emotion.

With your time.

Show up and engage.

Get involved.

Communicate.

Show up when it gets hard.

When it’s a struggle.

Show up when you don’t want to.

When no-one is listening.

Show up when others are depending on you.

Keep showing up.

You’re doing great!

 

“The good news is that more than ever, value accrues to those that show up, those that make a difference, those that do work that matters.” — Seth Godin

 

Dealing with the stuff that happens

You can be one of those people.

The ones that say, “this stuff always happens to me!”.

And then that stuff happens to them repeatedly.

Or you can be one of those people.

The ones that simply deal with the stuff that comes along.

And makes the best of it.

Same stuff.

Different outlook.

It’s actually a choice.

 

“It is not stress that kills us, it is our reaction to it.” – Hans Selye
