LETS TALK ABOUT CORE VALUES - SACRIFICE “Whatever you have right now in the way of accomplishments, possessions, accolades, you must be willing to let them go if you want to grow to the next level of opportunity. One cannot grasp the next trapeze whilst clinging to the current one. Leadership demands the core value of sacrifice.” J Loren Norris Watch the video lesson here: https://www.jlorennorris...

LETS TALK ABOUT CORE VALUES - MINDSET “You can overcome anything or anyone in life that you set your mind to! EXCEPT your own destructive mindset.

No one controls your mindset but you!” J Loren Norris WATCH THE VIDEO HERE: http://www...

LEADERS MUST GUARD THEIR HEART AND MIND AGAINST CORRUPTION “POWER IS INTOXICATING both to those who have it and those who are influenced by it. If you are growing in influence, income, exposure and power, you run the risk of being corrupted by the intoxication of power. Guard your heart, guard your mind by building your life on foundational, unchanging values.” J Loren Norris https://www.jlorennor...

DO YOU PREFER I TELL YOU WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR? OR TELL YOU WHAT YOU NEED TO HEAR? “If your skin is too thick to be corrected or too thin to be encouraged, leadership may not be the field for you. If you lead with flattery for your own gain rather than truth for the betterment of those you lead your selfishness will reveal itself.” J Loren Norris https://www.jlorennorris.com/podcast/do-you-prefer-...

WHAT EXCUSES ARE YOU EMPLOYING TO AVOID RISK? “You can make excuses or you can make progress, it is near impossible to make both. If you find yourself and your success waiting for someone to pitch in, to help out or to join your cause, you would be better served to get busy making the effort to cross the finish line alone. You are likely to find others begging to join your passion and enthusiasm,”...

NARRATIVE = INFLUENCE = LEADERSHIP - ARE YOU LEADING OR FOLLOWING THE NARRATIVE? ”It is not always easy to do as you’re told. Its not always easy to see the truth behind the lies. Its not always easy to accept the story as it is told to you. For that reason, leaders must be well read, well informed and responsible to LEAD the narrative rather than follow it.” J Loren Norris _______________________...

“What if I told you that the biggest, most powerful resistance you face to your success is actually between your ears? Well it is!! The thoughts you thinking without thinking are like holding one foot on the gas and one foot on the brake. All you effort, action, talent and skill will get you nowhere if you’re constantly reminding yourself you are a failure.” J Loren Norris ________________________...

WHAT IS IT YOU ONLY SHARE IN CERTAIN CIRCLES? WHAT IS IT YOU ARE AFRAID TO SPEAK UP ABOUT? by J Loren Norris "Your driving thoughts, ideas, emotions and conversations are often restricted due to your present environment. When your ideas are scattered, whimsical, and change with the day, they should be challenged. When you are not sure why you believe what you believe, you should be challenged. But...

LEGAL. RIGHT. OR GOOD. DOES IT MATTER? “‘It’s only wrong if you get caught.’ Right? NO. I am a firm, believer that good and right are knowable. I believe there are absolute laws of the universe which are not for the purpose of judgment or financial gain and that violating those laws comes with greater penalty than prosecution, jail time and fines.” J Loren Norris LEGAL Just because law makers have...

MUCH DESTRUCTION HAPPENS FROM THE INSIDE OUT. “Cancers, fungus, disease, blood disorders, viruses and bacteria all destroy from within.

WHAT DOES EQUAL OPPORTUNITY MEAN TO YOU? 1. EQUAL OPPORTUNITY MEAN FAIRNESS Fairness is when the same rules apply to everyone. Fairness is when no one has an advantage based on arbitrary and uncontrollable circumstances. Fairness is not a guarantee in life. In fact, nature itself does not demonstrate fairness as the homeostasis in the universe. The weakest water buffalo gets eaten. The least heat...

SUBTLETY IS AN ARTFORM. LACK OF IT IS LIKE CRACKING EGGS WITH A SLEDGE HAMMER 7/17/2020 "It is often in our everyday relationships and common conversations that the subtlety of our own selfishness rears its head, reveals our intention and diverts our attention. Subtlety is the cause of wars, the kiss of betrayal and the wink of admiration all at once." J Loren Norris Subtlety is often an internal...

DOES A “DO WHATEVER IT TAKES” MENTALITY DRIVE YOU? “At every level of our lives OPPORTUNITY distractions derail us. Sometimes that’s a GREAT thing because distractions allow us to reduce stress, refocus and refresh. Sometimes though, distractions alter the course of our future, destroy hope and prevent us from fulfilling our destiny.” J Loren Norris THREE RULES TO WIN IN THE FACE OF OPPORTUNITY DI...

STORYPOWER BRINGS THE WISDOM OF EXPERIENCE MARRIED TO KNOWLEDGE “I can never overstate the need for learning, growing, reading, observing, EVER. I also know from my own failures that there is no teacher like experience. When it comes to the tests of life, not everything on the test was in the book or mentioned in class. When you bring experience and knowledge together, #storypower emerges and wisd...

The emotional journey of the vision which drives your life purpose, calling and commitment should experience three major phases. MOVED WITH COMPASSION There will be a moment in every leader’s life that someone will catch their eye, captivate their heart, provoke their imagination and move them to extreme action. That moment is called “moved with compassion.” Its that moment when the leader’s heart...

FREEDOM IS OFTEN PURCHASED BY OTHERS, BUT THE PRICE FOR INDEPENDENCE IS OURS TO PAY “Freedom is what we all long for but seldom are we free to choose it for ourselves. After its purchased for us, the next choice is to use that freedom in search of independence. That requires our own struggles, strains and choices. Being independent is as costly as freedom.” J Loren Norris FREEDOM IS THE RIGHT TO C...

DO YOU SPEAK IN THE TERMS OF THE OTHER PERSONS INTEREST? ”Speaking both from extensive observation and personal experience, an idea no matter how profound, in-depth, or radical, is seldom a worthwhile idea when postulated and promoted in the vacuum of a single human mind. Not until the idea meets and endures the rigors of many minds will it be trustworthy. Conversation requires consideration. Cons...
