Simon Sinek’s Advice On Achieving The Ultimate Success
Last night I was fortunate enough to have a half an hour discussion with one of my favourite leadership coaches Simon Sinek on what it means to be a truly successful leader.
Simon is a “one of a kind” leader that oozes awesome and very insightful advice on what it takes to be a successful individual in this world by leading with your heart.
You may have seen Simon Sinek’s very interesting and super viral TED Talk, “How Great Leaders Inspire Action”. Now, through this interview, you will have the chance to get to know a little bit more about the mad genius himself and what makes him tick.
If you haven’t already, make sure you get your hands on both of his books: “Start With Why” and “Leaders Eat Last”, they are two must have reads in any serious entrepreneurs library.
Simon Sinek’s Advice On Leadership, Business, Life & Success
8 Unforgettable Simon Sinek Quotes
“When we tell people to do their jobs, we get workers. When we trust people to get the job done, we get leaders.” – Simon Sinek
“A team is not a group of people that work together. A team is a group of people that trust each other.” – Simon Sinek
“Dr. King gave the “I have a dream” speech not the “I have a plan” speech. It’s our dreams that change the course of history.” – Simon Sinek
“Customers will never love a company until the employees love it first.” – Simon Sinek
“Leadership is not a rank or a position, it is a choice – a choice to look after the person to the left of us & the person to the right of us.” – Simon Sinek
“Vision” is the ability to talk about the future with such clarity it is as if we are talking about the past.” – Simon Sinek

“Fire your boss. Follow your passion. Own your time.” These statements, inspiring on one hand, are capable of luring many away from working a regular 9-5 job to becoming entrepreneurs. Statistics show that 6 out of 10 employees are fully dissatisfied with their jobs. Reasons vary from having a terrible boss to inadequate compensation to lack of interest. This makes entrepreneurship an attractive alternative instead of working for someone else. However, starting a business is not all rosy. (more…)
Money is a cultural obsession. Whether we accept it openly or just silently nod, money is central to our life. Not in a binary sort of way, where when someone likes money, they don’t care about other virtues in life or if they never talk about money, it must make them a saint. But money as means to an end; A channel that takes you to a better place than where you were 12 months ago. As an input to your growth and a resource for creating an enriched life. (more…)
If you’ve ever heard about the Law Of Attraction, then you know that the universe responds to the energy or the frequency at which we vibrate. Like attracts like and positive thoughts result in positive results. So, when we aim to succeed in life or try to attract happiness, love, or abundance, we need to make sure we are vibrating and matching our frequency with that of the universe to be in its alignment. In short, our thoughts can only become our reality when we allow them to be, which is, by raising our vibration. (more…)
Did you know, if you put $5 into a savings account every single morning when you woke up for the next ten years, you would have a savings account at the end totalling $18,250? When it comes to being rich, we all love the idea of having millions in the bank, but what most people don’t realise is that it’s not earning a ton of money that makes people rich, it’s the mindset and habits that go with their lifestyle.

Great interview. Short sweet and to the point. I am a huge fan of the Ted Talk “How Great Leaders Inspire Action” and recently I caught an episode of Reinvention Radio that had an interview with Simon Sinek and Steve Olsher. I was moved more by the backstory that Simon was just going around speaking and speaking for almost 3 years before being offered the book deal and coincidentally offered the Ted Talk spot around the same time.
I am moved by what he says and it had changed my life when I first heard the signature speech but the more that I hear him in different interviews the more I am moved to find more of them. I will watch your “How To Lead The Way To Success” next. And, if you talk to Simon, please tell him that I would love to have him on my show as a guest for BetterMarketingMondays. TY #addicted2success #WHYFirst #changetheworld

I just purchased Leaders Eat last the other day. I look forward to reading it. Simon’s 99U talk was great.

I disagree with the concept that we only have one “Why” in our life. Some people have a professional career that is very important to them. For example, they are a social worker for example because they are motivated to help people who are struggling with addiction or HIV. At some point maybe their life is changed — for example by having children. Raising their children becomes the most important thing in their life. This is just one example, but other life changing events can change people’s why.

“What are some of your biggest weaknesses?” “Uhh, where do I start?” That vulnerability right there is inspiring!
