Lazy People Don’t Know How To Start.. Weak people don’t know how to finish.. Successful people don’t know how to stop.. ✨ People demand success, but refuse to work weekends ✨ People want opportunity, but won’t talk to strangers ✨ People claim ambition, but sleep in everyday 🔴 We Are The Result Of Our Actions, Not Our Aspirations Hormozi #RememberThis

Empathy vs. Envy.. • If you’re looking for a pat on the back while climbing the success ladder... you might as well stop now • Rarely happens.. • What happens often however... are people silently standing by waiting... and watching... you.. • What you’re working. on.... and how you’re handling things.. all your twists and turns.. • Yeah... that’s what that heavy energy you’re feeling around you is. It’s not a headache or a bad meal sitting on your stomach... • It’s that haze, that mist.. of all those people who don’t dare try or do what you’re doing.. • It’s ok.. • There’s a reason why you are and others are not... • You’re either born a Shepherd or Sheep • So... which one are YOU? • • Thought so....✨ • • • #OnlyForTheBrave

It's Been 10 Years.. How Proud Are you Of You Today? Something we always hear is “change is the only constant”, which means simply that change is inevitable. Maybe the changes that you’ve experienced are small and you have to dig deep to discover what they are, but there’s a 100% chance that the person you were 10 years ago isn’t the same person that you are today. Oftentimes, the answer would be - “well, it depends on how you look at it…”, and as that answer slowly morphed into a “No", that’s when you begin to recognize that it is time to make drastic changes in your life and leave that job. "..I don’t know where I’m going but I know I’m going somewhere.." ✨ Going somewhere is enough, so long as you go with intention and don’t allow life to just happen to you. Sit in the driver’s seat, even if you don’t know what your final destination is. Checking in with yourself at various intervals should be the most important aspect of your personal growth and maturing, and having the bias to action to actually make changes is the secret to affecting real growth. ✨ Are you proud of yourself today? ✨ Would the you from 5-10 years ago be proud of where you are today? 🔴 Here's To Being In Driver's Seat #MondayStarts #GoingSomewhere?

‘Means’ Goals and ‘End’ Goals and the Importance of Knowing the Difference It’s possible to achieve all your goals and yet never get what you want out of life. This failure to achieve your life’s ambitions occurs when you confuse means goals and end goals. 😬 ( I'll let the emoji do its part here..) ✨ Means goals are stepping stones to a bigger goal. They lead to something grander, or at least they should. Means goals are the tools to achieve your ultimate objective, your end goals. Thus means goals should be flexible so they can be adjusted as needed to achieve your ultimate aim. ✨ End goals, on the other hand, are non-negotiable. You should never compromise when it comes to getting the best for yourself and your family. You can’t compromise on your end goals, but you must remain flexible in the means you use to achieve that end. ✴️ Means Goals Have Endpoints; End Goals Do Not. The crucial difference between means goals and end goals is that means goals have well-defined endpoints (a number on the scale, a dollar figure). Means goals are limited and can be completed, but end goals are objectives you can pursue for a lifetime. 🔴 You don’t become your best on one day; instead, you have to work toward that goal every day of your life. 🟣 Homework: Take the time to enumerate your end goals. Then create means goals that serve those ends and if those means don’t get you the results you desire, drop them for better means. You Deserve The Best Life. Go After It... 💫 #EndGoals #KnowThem

"..Things Can Change at Any Moment…How You React and Adapt Will Determine Your Future.." Angela Civitella Adapting to change gracefully is not easy, but the better you are at it, the more opportunities you’ll unlock in your career. Let’s look at what adaptability means, and use some adaptability examples to illustrate why this skill truly is a superpower. Adaptability doesn’t come easy to most people, because change is naturally uncertain, and uncertainty breeds anxiety and stress. It’s important to note that being adaptable does not mean saying yes to everything, or allowing your boss or co-workers to cross your boundaries and take advantage of you. Three categories people spend time in when it comes to assessing change:  ✨ Category 1: This change isn’t a big deal, and I can work with it without saying anything.  ✨ Category 2: I’m open to this change, but I will need to advocate for a few alterations in order for it to work with me.  ✨ Category 3: I cannot accept this change, and will explain to my manager/coworkers why. Research shows that people who are adaptable spend the most time in Category 2, because adaptability means making your own internal changes to adapt to the changes around you. More pluses to look at:   🟧Adaptability leads to promotions   🟧Adaptability builds deeper connections   🟧Adaptability helps you sidestep office politics   🟧Adaptability enhances efficiency and improves work-life balance Adaptability in the workplace is more than just a useful skill; it’s a fundamental approach that opens doors to growth, efficiency, and a happier working life. 🔴 Do You Have This SuperPower? #BeChangeable

Decide that you Want It more... than You are afraid of It.. #NoFear

Choices.. Be motivated, don’t manipulate Be of use, don’t use for gain Be excellent in what you do, do not compete Focus on all the yeses to succeed, and not the whys you won’t Listen to your inner compass, it is much more accurate than any information you will hear from others 🔴 Choose, Don’t Leave It To Chance #WinningIsAChoice

How Do You Measure Success? 🔴The Myth: ✨Wealth/Status: Success cannot be measured materially. A title, salary, or bank account is always going to be relative to those of others, and therefore your success is defined by others. It is not your success, and whatever means ‘winning’ today will invariably become ‘falling behind’ tomorrow. Living well is always one hill away when success is measured materially. ✨Being ‘Happy’: Success cannot be measured emotionally. Happiness is fleeting and transitory, based on a nuanced and complicated experience of balancing expectations and realities. The happiest people are only occasionally happy, happiness is not directly in our control, and happiness is always relative to disappointment, unease and sorrow, and it can be an important thing to allow ourselves to be unhappy when there is good reason for it. Living well is always precarious and separate from our agency and power, when measured emotionally. ✨Achievement: Success cannot be measured in achievements if those achievements are not based in our values, or motivated by our life experiences. An achievement can be a big milestone that tells us we are on the path we want to be on, but looking to that achievement rather than the everyday work of putting one’s truest self into fully realized action is to miss out on the greatest satisfactions to be found in life. Living well can be co-opted away from us, when measured meritoriously. 🔴The Lies: ✨You Are Not Acceptable. Whoever you are, whatever you’ve done or haven’t done, you are acceptable just as you are. You are worthy of love, and of loving yourself. Whatever guilt or regret you may hang onto from the past, are they still serving you? If so, figure out why, and turn that into action. If not, what good are you doing anyone, stuck on that hook? You’re okay. You’re enough. ✨You Are Obligated. All you have to do is exist. That’s it. You aren’t obligated to anyone, or anything else. Transform that sense of obligation into choice and desire toward whatever it is that you want. Delete the words “should”, “gotta”, “have to” and “must” from your vocabulary. Love does not obligate. We are. That’s enough. ✨You Should Be In Control. Control is an illusion that our conscious mind constructs, or internalizes from elsewhere, to feel comfort. Your life can change in a trillion ways today, for better or worse, and 99.99% of them are wholly out of your control. You are a leaf on the wind. Lean into the discomfort. Let go of the illusion. Live Your Truth.. That's Enough #MondayStarts #YouAreEnough

WHY GOOD LEADERS CONSTANTLY HIT THE WALL… Which blocks are you dealing with? The maturity of an organization can never transcend the maturity of its leaders… and its teams. Angela Civitella Read that again. Running a family business is never a straightforward journey. It requires an intricate balance between managing operations, navigating family dynamics, and keeping a clear strategic vision – for the company, ownership, and the family. Sometimes, you hit a wall no matter how strong your team is. Sales stagnate, profits dwindle, and communication breaks down. Senior management teams are so caught up in day-to-day operations that they don’t realize they’re heading in the wrong direction­ – until it’s too late. Here are some blocks to look at: ✨ Lack of Financial Clarity ✨ Communication Breakdown ✨ Resistance to Goal Setting and Accountability Remember: 🔴 Successful Businesses Align Their Ownership and Build Stronger Families in the End. #FamilyBusiness #Legacy #SetUpForSuccess

A robust feedback culture helps everyone to develop their soft skills, to perform better, and ultimately allows the organisation to be more effective. Feedback culture is also a vital part of any healthy workplace and is an essential building block for strong working relationships. There are even a range of tools specifically designed for implementing feedback in the business environment, such as Impraise, Engagedly, and 15Five. Feedback must be implemented in a comprehensive way Feedback is driven approach that has the buy-in of people at all levels of the organization All business leaders and executives need to develop a specific set of skills to give and receive feedback effectively.

Engage, be Curious enough to Care, and then.... 🔴 Make Your Statement #ThursdayCoaching #ItsHowYouSayThings #CareEnoughToSpeak

Anticipation... • Turns out it’s a skill you can learn… • Say what now?… • Here’s the thing: to be anticipatory means to look for future trends and look for the opportunities they can provide • So one of my favorite sayings is “anticipation in action”… what is that? • Instead of waiting around, think of how YOU should evolve in order to add greater value.. • So the real question when faced with lots of moving parts in an organization who is busy changing things around is: • What’s the new job inside of my old job? • Look around your ecosystem.. is your company changing their business model? Are departments being streamlined? Anyone being re-distributed? • • Important questions.. • • • #ChangeWithChange

Competing Against Yourself... In business it means shifting your focus from outsmarting external rivals to continuously outgrowing your own past performance. By measuring growth against your own benchmarks (e.g., last year's sales or customer response times), you reclaim control, drive sustainable innovation, and build a stronger foundation 🔴 Focus on High-Value Activities and Delegation To become a better leader and grow your company, you must evaluate how you spend your time. ✨ Identify $10,000-an-hour Activities: Focus on the strategic, high-level tasks that only you can do. Note: the hourly rate is proportional to the size of business. This example targets large organizations. ✨ Delegate the Rest: Document processes, build simple checklists, and delegate routine tasks so you have the mental bandwidth to innovate. 🔴 Build Better Internal Systems When your goal is to beat your past self, execution and implementation become your true differentiators. ✨ Create Repeatable Systems: Turn successful one-off projects into standard operating procedures. This allows your team to operate efficiently without needing your approval for every minor decision. ✨ Embrace Continuous Feedback: Gather reviews and feedback to constantly tweak and refine your product offerings, pushing your own standards higher. Don't focus on what is out there... YOU are your most valuable product. Period 👏 #InnerHero #LeadersOnlyHere

There are only two emotions that really matter: Fear and Love. Out of the two, Fear is definitely the trickiest.. Why is fear so important to look at ? Because it’s the largest consciousness that holds the lowest density that we are stepping out of.. Man.. that was a mouthful All fear serves is to keep you from things and out of things, that would otherwise serve you well, no matter the lesson Fear should be what you go towards and not run from. Fear is your greatest teacher. You will stretch and reach in ways you never thought possible Fear does that.. well Fear is a constant, it keeps you company, even when you want to be alone.. especially when you want to be alone.. 🔴 What About You?

What Has Been The Hardest Obstacle You've Overcome In Your Entrepreneurial Venture? Random answers from valued entrepreneurs and executives doing their best.. Everyday.. ✨ "That no one will care about your venture as much as you do. You'll fail. A lot. To the point that success won't even feel like success anymore. In fact, success may disappoint you more then failure (your mileage may vary). Pushing on despite your feelings". Got me in my feels.. ✨ "Motivating myself to work smarter/harder - I think it was the realization that at the end of the day - nothing is going to happen unless I make it happen that made me improve." Gurl... ✨ Choosing the Wrong Partner. We are a design, merchandising and branding firm. When we first started off, we were a two man startup. We got orders and had a good enough inflow of profit. One day, we got an offer from a big client. Since my partner and I were busy on other projects, we decided that the head of the merchandising department should handle this project. We got the deal and started working on it, and after a while it became apparent that the guy handling the project was doing more than he should have been. Whenever he spoke to the client, he would agree to get more done without any increase of the quoted cost. When confronted, he brushed it off a couple of times by saying that since we were still a relatively small company, we'd be able to get more money on future projects. But as time passed by and the project continued, he kept doing the same thing. Finally it got to a point where I was overloaded with all the new things he'd promised the client we would do and I was getting way less money than what work I was doing. I quit in the end, and my partner confronted the guy again. He said that he'd quit the company as well, and did so. We dissolved the company, and started over again." Update: They  kicked everyone out, set up a new structure and are running well now. 🙂 ✨ Go into a venture knowing that while you expect others to work hard and perform with the company's best interest at heart, the reality is that you will be let down in most cases. This goes for people you raise & train for positions, as well as even your partners". I hear you... What Has Been The Hardest Obstacle For You? #MondayStarts #Lessons

Three Types of Team Members 🔴 Type 1: A in Talent - A in Mindset These are the most dedicated and the hardest workers Hard to find 🔴 Type 2: A in Talent - B in Mindset These team members are inconsistent, streaky in their tasks, can’t learn, they’ll do 15 things one time only… unable to learn They only look good on paper. Remember this 🔴 Type 3: B in Talent - A in Mindset These are the team members that make you look great. They look like they don’t have any talent, but they actually have great talent. They’ll do one thing 50 times until they get it right They do personal purposeful tasks and research to improve themselves without any directives from anyone.. Type 3 eventually overcomes Type 2 because of their A mindset. This group is by far the most successful in all things.
