LEADERSHIP has never been easy. It takes your inner drive, determination and dog-head tenacity.
A dream is what you need to live a life of extra-ordinary success.
There is something in everyone which tells them, there is something to life more than just mere living.
Let us focus on those traits that others have used so as to be successful.
Don’t settle for less
Great people do not follow the crowds, but they make the crowds follow them.

This is so because they strive for the best, while the masses strive for mediocrity.
Go against the grain. Do not settle for the normal.
It is only the dead fish that flow with the current, but living fish go against the flow.
People will tell you that it is hard. It is impossible.
It has never been done. You do not have the resources.
Those are depressing words and if you follow them they will suck the passion and energy out of you.
Don’t listen to what people say or see
I had a dream to be an international selling author and to be one of the top speakers in Zimbabwe.
Some scoffed, sneered and jeered at me, but it was until they saw my book beginning to sell.
It was until they heard my voice on the radio.
It was until they saw me on television and speaking for different corporations that they had to believe my word.
Now I travel globally because of my dream. That was my dream.
You too can live your dream. I did not allow people to talk me down. Never allow people to turn you off.
Do what you feel excited about, not what you think makes all others happy.
What makes you feel juiced up? Go for it!
People will never stop speaking and criticising, but do it anywhere.
Master your pain
Most people would rather stay average than do what is out of the norm. They are afraid of the unknown.
They would rather stay on a job that will help them get by and get a salary.
Master the psychology of pain. Pain is part of the game.
For you to be a genius in any sport, you have to work on the muscles. It is not easy.
If it was easy, everyone would be successful.
For you to be the best in your game, you should know to work through pain until it is no longer pain, but your game.
Wake up at night while everyone else is snoring and work on your craft, until you become an expert.
Distract the old patterns
There are things that we should unlearn to learn new patterns. Disrupt your old patterns or paradigms.
Believe it is possible. Your old habits will not just change overnight. It takes time.
Set aside an hour to read a book. Be different from how the masses are doing things.
The masses are always sitting on the fence thinking that tomorrow might bring something.
They live in that poor illusion. Start today to be the best.
Stop wasting your time on junk content. Get away from cell phone obsession. Drop all worthless friends.
Find out the people that are sucking a lot of time and energy and get them out of your life.
If you are not hard on your life, life will be hard on you. You are not here just to get by.
Work on your craft. Stand up! Stand out! Do something different. Do something new.
Doing the same thing everyday ends up boring and mundane, dance to a new beat.
Decide the life you want
Your life should be fulfilling and extremely exciting.
If you do not decide the life you want, someone else will.
And they will give you a job. You are too great to spend your life on a salary. Break loose. Control your life. Control your time.
If you give someone to decide what you should do, you will always be controlled.
Retire and pay others to do what you will have done on your own.
Live on your own terms. Call the shots.
Make money while you are snoring. Think big.
Most people have to learn that you are not mainly paid for the work done, but for the ideas you bring.
Your network is hinged on the power of your ideas.
Focus on what you want
Problems are unavoidable, but they should not be our focus.
What you focus on, gets amplified in your life.
Focus on what you want.
Most people regurgitate on their weakness, mistakes, and on their messed up past.
Change your focus. Focus on what you can do. Do not focus on your fear. Focus on what you want from this life.
Change what you think about. What you mainly think about you bring about.
In fact it has been said that thoughts are things.
Your focus becomes your result. Your daily ritually becomes your reality.
Focus on what excites you and what turns you on. What makes you happy? What fulfils you? Go focus on that.
