10 Specific Things Leaders Need to Do to Stay Successful

The decision that comes in wanting to be a leader is a beautiful thing. As a leader, you have the capabilities to change many lives and inspire people to rise up to their full potential and be their best selves.
So how does a leader continue to be their best self? Becoming a leader doesn’t mean that you are off the hook of doing the work necessary to continue on your journey to being your best self.
Here are 10 specific ways that you can continue to show up and give your best to the many people you will inspire and help along the way:
1. Become a Thought Solutionist
If you are leading, you didn’t wake up in that position. It took some work, time, and patience to get to where you are today. The number one thing that you had to achieve is for you to learn how to train your thoughts. We all have thoughts that we shouldn’t think. The only way to continue to think positive and to block out the negative is to train your thoughts to think the things that are going to take you where you want to go.
2. Enjoy Life
Believe it or not, as a leader many fail at taking the opportunity to take everything in and enjoy the moments in their lives. This is something that sometimes has to be learned and appreciated. Life is too short not to enjoy it! Enjoying life doesn’t mean to lose control or respect. It simply means that you have the opportunity to not only enjoy why you do the hard work you do, but to also show others what is possible for them.
3. Invest In Your Health
Your health is an element of your life that can make or break you. If your health fails, then everything that you’ve created or are trying to create is in jeopardy. Just as you would need to take the time to take care of your family or business, you need to make sure that you take care of your health so that you can have the opportunity to live long and strong being a leader to the many people that are counting on you.
“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” – John Quincy Adams
4. Always Have A Mentor Or Coach
If you want to be a good leader and lead a successful and fulfilled life, you are going to have to keep a mentor or coach at hand at ALL times. Leaders need a leader. Mentors or coaches are great investments that can and will help you on the journey to becoming the best you that you can be. They are the ones that will open your eyes to things that you might have missed that will make your life and business better and also hold you accountable for implementing the things that are necessary.
5. Always Be Mentoring or Coaching Someone
Being that you know the value of having a good mentor or coach, it is also a huge benefit to all leaders to be that for someone else. Being able to reach back and pull someone else up is an amazing feeling that helps you keep your gifts and talents fine tuned. Giving back is a great way to show the amazing qualities of leadership first hand.
6. Read Something Everyday
I know that we have all probably heard that reading is fundamental. Reading is a great tool and resource for you to utilize that will keep you current. The last thing that you want to do is be an out of date leader. Your readings don’t always have to come out of a book. There are several ways to fulfill reading each day. You can read articles, quotes, or you can even do an audio book.
7. Never Stop Learning
On your journey, you should always be learning something new. Your talents, gifts, attitude, and grit is what sets you aside from people who are not leaders. Being able to continue to learn how to apply these things in a big way is going to keep you current and help you to help others in the best ways possible.
8. Always Learn Something About Yourself That You Can Be Better In
As leaders, it is very easy to fall into the “I’ve Made It Syndrome”. Yes, it does feel nice to make it to a certain stage in your life but you should never really fully feel like or become comfortable in thinking that you have arrived and there is nothing more for you to improve on. There is ALWAYS something for you to improve on and you have to be proactive at finding it and working on it everyday.
“Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.” – Peter Drucker
9. Get A Taste Of The Globe
Being a leader is a great way for you to show off your expertise and also help many people in the process. It also is a great responsibility that renders you to need to know how to look at the whole picture. In order for you to see the whole picture, you need to learn more about the world that your audience is consuming. Traveling and seeing the world up close and personal is a huge benefit for your leadership abilities.
10. Be Grateful
Being grateful is a unique trait that has the ability to take you to the next level. Showing gratitude is an amazing exercise for you to do on a regular basis that will help you to stay grounded and stay connected to the people who you are leading. It also helps you reflect on how far you’ve come, what it took and the sacrifices that you made to get to where you are.
Being a leader is not something that happens overnight, but it is a journey that is taken throughout the course of a lifetime. If you don’t continue to fine tune your leadership qualities and abilities, you might end up losing them.

How to Break the Cycles of Mediocrity and Manifest Your Greatness
There is no greatness without becoming and there is no becoming with authenticity

In just a few weeks, we will be wrapping up 2023. Can you believe it? This year has been absolutely incredible for me.
I have seen amazing doors opened, new relationships formed and I am seeing dreams realized in my life. While this seems like the hallmarks of a great year, this has also been the most challenging year of my life. With all of the change happening in my life, I have been forced out of my comfort zone and challenged to grow in every area of my life.
I can truly say that I have made the most of my moments this year and I have used everything as a catalyst for maximizing my greatest potential.
As a revolutionary leader, I have the pleasure of consulting and advising leaders around the world to fulfill purpose, realize their greatest potential and make an impact.
I want to share some insights with you that will help you to break cycles of mediocrity and manifest your greatness.
Everything legal must come through the matrix
I am sure that some of you are wondering why I am using the term matrix. However, what you have to understand is that I am trying to make a highly complex spiritual principle practical to understand.
Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, every life has an origin and I believe that origin is divine and begins with eternity. You are birthed from eternity and into time to fulfill a unique purpose and assignment in your lifetime and generation.
The matrix is simply the portal or vehicle that brings something out of the invisible realm and into tangible form. The problem with much of the teaching today is that it excludes the matrix. We are told to believe that success is instantaneous and overnight.
Nobody talks about how a dream progresses through stages beginning with visualization and ultimately culminating in manifestation. Without a matrix or portal then everything that you attempt to birth and build will be illegal.
The matrix not only makes you legal but it gives you the authority and power to function as the greatest expression of who you were created to be.
Every matrix has an incubation process
While many people admire and respect me today, I remember a time when nobody knew who I was or the significance of my message. How did I get to where I am today? I got here through an incubation process.
In other words, everything that has been destined for your life is incubating and awaiting a set time of manifestation. The problem is that most people live their entire lives idle and never initiate the incubation process.
What do I meany by that? Most people are living reckless and very few people are living intentionally. I am amazed at the number of people I have conversations with that have no vision, goals or strategies for their lives. They show great promise and they have undeniable potential.
However, without development they will die with their dreams still in them.
Everything that has been destined for your life must be incubated and converted to become realities born to time.
“Visualize this thing that you want, see it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blueprint and begin to build.” – Robert Collier
You must give expression to that which is not yet born to time
When you think about a matrix or a prophetic incubation process, you have to understand that potential is often unrealized and untapped. In other words, your potential is in raw form and your potential cannot serve you as long as it is untapped.
The thing that makes me valuable is that I have the ability to convert potential into power. I have done it in my own life and I have empowered leaders around the world to do the same. How do you convert potential into power?
First, it is important to note that you have to perceive potential. If you cannot perceive your potential then you can never cultivate your potential. In addition, you must take the time to cultivate your potential. We often get excited about our capabilities; however, we never expand our capacity in order to realize our greatest potential.
In other words, the strength of your potential is only discovered through your willingness to stretch. The more we are challenged the more we are empowered to expand our capacity for greatness. Most of all, you must begin to express your potential. The expression of potential is different for every person.
For example, the expression of my potential is best demonstrated through the thoughts, ideas, products, services, books, etc.
For another person the expression of potential may look like a screenplay, artwork, sports, scientific discoveries, medical breakthroughs, etc.
Regardless of the form of expression, I know that you will live empty and unfulfilled until you make the decision to express your potential. The expression of your potential gives voice to your dreams, life to your vision, significance to your moments and activates your true power.
You must manifest your greatness
As a revolutionary thinker and leader, my work has impacted people around the world. I am grateful that my life is a source of empowerment to so many people. However, before anyone could ever benefit from my life, I had to make a non-negotiable decision to become who I was born to be.
I wish I could tell you that this journey is easy and that you will get there overnight. However, in a world that celebrates us for doing we are often criticized for being. As a result, I wasted a lot of time trying to be who other people wanted me to be instead of being who I was born to be.
There is no greatness without becoming and there is no becoming with authenticity. It is through our bravery to be vulnerable that we ultimately manifest our greatness. We do not bless the world by being a duplicate. We bless the world when we honor our difference. When you honor your difference you honor your potential.
Ultimately, your difference is how you manifest your greatness.
When you present anything but your authentic self to the world, you are playing small and you are robbing the world of your significance. Manifesting your greatness requires you to master your gifts.
