Not everyone in life gets to run a business, lead a team, or be an Olympic athlete.
But in my years in the Navy and my years as a leadership consultant, I’ve noticed one trait that consistently separates those who dream big from those who go out there and DO big—regardless of their field.
The ability to do the work.
Regardless of your circumstances, you must dig in and get after it.
There are no overnight successes. You will never find one.
Will it be easy? Nope. Worth it? Absolutely. ~Carey Lohrenz
After working with numerous Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 clients in programs where I help individual contributors, aspiring managers, salespeople, and executives further develop their leadership skills, I can tell you from firsthand experience that those participants who are committed to doing the work required to lead? Fare much better than those participants who just sit back and expect the magic to happen.
Let me explain why… There is no magic.
If you want to become a successful, fearless leader, you must take action, trust the process, and DO THE WORK. That is where you will find success.
What is stopping you?
Be fearless.
