Deadlines are important

If the IRS did not give us a deadline to do our taxes by I’m convinced no one would do them. Even if you file for an extension you still have a final deadline (October 15th for you last minute people) I think you have to set a deadline for growth. One of my favorite ways to promote growth and change is to have you and others get out a piece of paper and number it to 3. Now write down 3 things you know you need to improve in. Now look at a plan to make those three areas reality. Set a deadline to get it done and have someone hold you accountable to make it happen. If you’ll do this on a regular basis you will grow as well as your team. So my question for you what 3 things do you need to improve in? Now get to work!

    Brother Jim,

    Thank you for your consistency and your wisdom. I think this is the third time I have seen a form of this message from you in recent days and each time I have said, “That’s a great idea, simple, practical,attainable, etc…” And then I walk away from the screen and forget what manner of man I was.
    I have now written down three items for starters and with my wife to lend accountability, I have incorporated a plan for change and growth. Thanks again, please know how blessed I am by your ministry.
