Hello leaders:
In the pursuit of personal growth and professional excellence, it is crucial to challenge ourselves constantly. Today, consider these two powerful reminders that will propel you toward your fullest potential.
1. Be unshakable
Inscribe these words in your mind and heart. Let them resonate within you like a mantra. Remember, your energy is a finite resource and it is essential to guard it fiercely. Donât squander it by allowing external forces to shake your resolve. Instead, protect your energy, channel it purposefully and use it to fuel your aspirations. Your energy is yours alone to invest in what truly matters to you.
Imagine this: Write âBe unshakableâ on a sticky note or etch it onto your palm. Make âBe unshakableâ your motto, a constant reminder that the power to remain steadfast resides within you. By nurturing an unyielding spirit, you fortify your inner foundation and cultivate resilience, enabling you to navigate the inevitable challenges on your journey with grace and determination.

2. Embrace the 80% rule
Perfectionism can be both a blessing and a curse. While it drives us to pursue excellence, it often imprisons us within an endless loop of overanalyzing and obsessing over inconsequential details. Liberating yourself from this self-imposed perfectionist mindset is the key to unlocking new levels of productivity and fulfillment.
Instead of fixating on achieving 100% in every endeavor, harness the power of 80%. Recognize that the majority of progress and impact can be attained by exerting 80% of your effort. By shifting your perspective and celebrating the accomplishments that come from this threshold, you grant yourself the freedom to move swiftly and savor the journey. Feel the joy of progress, relish the sense of completion and revel in your newfound capacity to tackle more significant challenges.
Imagine this: Envision a future where you adopt the freedom and velocity of operating at 80%. Picture yourself unleashing your full potential by moving forward unencumbered by the weight of unattainable perfection. Experience the liberation that comes from trading unnecessary burdens for a growth mindset that values progress over perfection.
Leaders, remember these two fundamental principles as you advance on the path toward personal growth and leadership excellence. Cultivate your unshakable resolve and protect your energy as a precious resource. Welcome the joy and freedom that come from operating at 80% and experience the transformative power it holds.
Go forth and embrace the challenge of becoming the best version of yourself. Your journey starts now.
With unwavering belief in your potential,
