About this episode
So, you're starting something new? I bet one big question rolling around in your mind is, "Do I have what it takes?" This week, John C. Maxwell, Mark Cole, and Traci Morrow start a new two-part series on questions leaders can ask themselves to know if they have what it takes to begin a new venture. Following John's lesson, Mark and Traci discuss how to apply what you've learned to your life and leadership.
Key takeaways:
- Passion gives the vision energy. Vision gives passion direction.
- Stress is the gap between the demands placed on us and our ability to meet those demands.
- Many times, action is not the riskiest path. The riskiest path is inaction.
